Waccamaw Anyone?
Hey Guys,
Any of you guys ever try Waccamaw Hunting Lodge in Hemingway, SC? I am thinking of going there in Febuary to hunt Hogs and wondered if anyone has ever had an experience there. I know that the won the North Amer. Hunt Clubs "Outfitter of the Year" award. Thanks for the help.

RE: Waccamaw Anyone?
I'm going there the first weekend of Feb.
It will be my first time boar hunting and the first time using an outfitter.
I've e-mailed and spoke to the owner, Rick, and I like what I've heard.
I will post my opinions of the hunt when I get back.
Good luck to you.

I've hunted there five times. Rick Grubbs runs a first class operation. No fences, all wild born, free ranging animals. This is real hunting.I took this buck in Oct. of '03. http://www.huntinglodge.net/images/deer004.jpg. The accomodations are very nice also.

RE: Waccamaw Anyone?
I just got back from a 2-day hunt at Waccamaw. I had a great time, the other hunters made me quite welcome and the owner/operator - Rick Grubbs was very professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. He truely runs a honest hunt for free ranging hogs on private property. He sets you up at a stand site that will fit your needs and shooting abillities. There were no gaurrantees, and that is what I wanted. You are at the mercy of the pigs. If they don't want to move for some reason, then you will not see them.
The first evening I spotted a small boar at last light - it was 6:10pm. I had to shoot now or it would be too dark. I shot and took a 40 to 50 pound boar. This was my first boar and i am very proud of it. (see attached pic.)
Another guy took a 150 pound sow (seenext pic).
Rick picked up the hogs and cleaned and skinned them and placed them in a walkin cooler for us.
Rick also provided us with a very nice and comfortable lodge for our stay.
(see pic's).
I will definatly book another hunt with Rick.
I hope this helps motivate others to give it a try.
If you have any questions, just ask.
