Sign in to contribute

Hampton County sits in the southern Coastal Plain near the Savannah River, a landscape of longleaf pine flatwoods, pocosin wetlands, and the Salkehatchie River swamp corridor that holds excellent deer and turkey populations with minimal hunting pressure. The county borders the massive Savannah River Site buffer zone, and the decades of managed land and restricted access nearby have historically benefited deer genetics and numbers across the region. Feral hogs are abundant throughout the pine flatwoods and provide an additional year-round pursuit alongside whitetails.

Terrain & elevation

Flat southern Coastal Plain dominated by longleaf and loblolly pine flatwoods, pocosin wetlands, and the Salkehatchie River swamp system; near sea level with extensive wet pine savanna characteristic of the lower Lowcountry

Hunting pressure

Low to moderate - one of the more sparsely populated counties in South Carolina; limited destination hunting traffic creates a genuine local hunting experience with less competition on private ground

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter license and tags through SCDNR; check current regulations for WMA-specific requirements

Species & seasons

Wild turkey populations strong throughout pine flatwoods and hardwood edges; feral hogs abundant and available year-round; wood duck and teal in river swamps provide seasonal waterfowl opportunity

Highlights

Lowcountry pine flatwood and Salkehatchie swamp deer hunting with minimal competition; abundant feral hogs available year-round alongside whitetails
