About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedKershaw County bridges the upper Coastal Plain Sandhills and the Piedmont, with longleaf pine and wiregrass restoration areas, Lake Wateree bottomlands, and agricultural fields near Camden creating diverse habitat for consistently quality whitetails. The Wateree WMA is one of the larger publicly accessible hunting areas in central South Carolina, and the surrounding private farmland around Camden produces trophy-class bucks that have earned the county a regional reputation. Turkey populations are strong in the longleaf restoration areas and mixed pine-hardwood uplands throughout the county.
