Wild Boar hunting at the Cedar Knoll Hunting Lodge provides the hunter with a challenging experience that will be remembered well after the hunt and is available on a year-round basis. This is a 3-day hog hunt for four hunters that runs from Thursday afternoon through Sunday. The hunt dates are July 8th, 2010 - July 11th, 2010. All hunts must be confirmed 30-days prior to the hunt date. According to a recent magazine article, the wild boar found in the Savannah River drainage at the Cedar Knoll Hunting Lodge date back to the mid-1500’s. They are truly wild and are not modern feral farm hogs that have been released into the area for hunting purposes. On the other hand, there is evidence that there has been cross breeding with wild Russian boar that were released on a neighboring 22,800-acre plantation in 1984 which adds to the ferocity as well as the size of the “colonial feral hogs”. Hayward & Dona Simmons, owners of the Cedar Knoll Hunting Lodge, limit hunting activity in order to provide "rest periods" between hunts. These "rest periods" help to maintain high visibility and success rates that exceed 100%. Specifically, hunters have averaged one hog per day over the last year, largely because of the ten-day rest period scheduled between wild boar hunts. The hunt includes lodging, meals, field transportation, guides, skinning, cooling, quartering and icing down of the meat in the hunter's cooler. Come enjoy our Southern hospitality.
