About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedHorry County spans from the Grand Strand coast inland to the Waccamaw River and Little Pee Dee River corridors, where working farms and bottomland hardwoods produce quality deer hunting far removed from the beach tourism of the coast. The Lewis Ocean Bay Heritage Preserve protects one of the largest intact Carolina bay pocosins landscapes in existence, offering a hunting environment unlike anything else in the state. Waterfowl hunting on Waccamaw River oxbow lakes and the scattered Carolina bay wetlands draws local enthusiasts for teal and wood ducks through the season.
Flat Coastal Plain from the Grand Strand tidal shore inland to the Waccamaw River floodplain with oxbow lakes and Carolina bay wetlands; upland agricultural fields and pine plantation in the rural western portions; Little Pee Dee River corridor in the far west
Moderate - western rural portions are lightly hunted; coastal proximity and weekend visitor traffic can increase pressure during firearms season near accessible public tracts
Over-the-counter license and tags through SCDNR; check current regulations for Heritage Preserve-specific access requirements
Waterfowl on Waccamaw River oxbow lakes and Carolina bay wetlands for teal and wood ducks; turkey in upland pine and agricultural-timber interface; alligator available through SCDNR management hunts
Lewis Ocean Bay Heritage Preserve Carolina bay pocosin hunting - a genuinely distinctive landscape; Waccamaw River bottom deer and waterfowl in a productive Coastal Plain setting
