This will be our 2nd year with this phenomenal lease....Need one LUCKY member!!!
10 and a half month least....hogs year round, deer during the season....no turkeys, that's the month and a half the lease is closed.
$2000 total for the year, $500 of that total for camp services and feed programs. Lease is an hour and a half from Augusta GA. You must live 4 ours away or further. (Yep, very important reason).
Serious inquiries only PLEASE.
:campfire:
Please send me a PM. I would like to know more.
Thanks.

TTT
BTW...there is a camper on the property and a generator...so there is a place to sleep on the property so there wont have to be a motel fund if you come hunt....
John is going to come along it a bit and add some pics...
Fellow TG'r Reddogge and myself made a trip down the the BS last October......just a few pics to share.

Settled into camp life which was made easy by lots of afternoon naps and Reddogge's camp chef skills. Here we are enjoying some delicious baked beans and Sika stag steaks.

Plenty of room for additional campers and with town not too far away it makes for a great time.
More pics to come.....
Another trip this past February with another TB brother Mike Shaw.....

I don't know if Terry has has found anyone yet so here is a stalk I videoed of Jeff aka "Tippit" on the strip. It's about 10 minutes long. Somehow I turned off the video at the end so only Jeff and I know how it ended and Jeff paid me well to keep quiet :bigsmyl:

Wish I lived closer....
Keep the wind in your face!
Shoot straight, Shinken
:archer2:
This place is absolutely covered in game. If only I lived half way closer.

I agree! Someone will be very lucky when they get in on this lease. It's an UNBELIEVABLE place, with ALOT of game, and great scenery. :readit: I would be all over this if I lived closer!
Terry,
I would like to know more if you haven't found anyone yet. Could you please send me a PM?

Got 3 inquiries ......no definites yet....
So, which way is it an hour and half from Augusta?
North or west per chance?
Why do you have to live more than 4 hours away?

I would imagine it's so not much hunting pressure is put on it.
Im of a twofold opinion on that but it is up the people in charge of the lease in the end.
Terry, I've sent you an email.
Thanks,
Joe
Beautiful land there, Terry. You all are blessed for sure! Someone's destined for an awesome experience, so jealous of those of you who are within distance!
Yes Joe...I got your email days ago and left you a message....you were the 1st to contact me. I'll email you my number....
:thumbsup:

I guess if I took the "Proper Route" I could make it a four hour trip--Hmm
Looks like a real cool place!

You know, I've never understood why folks feel the need to make comments like this.
Actually, its not up to you at all....and, its up to the folks in charge of the lease not only in the end, but the beginning.....that's the way we started it just last year. With the few members we have it limited to, I think the 1st page hero pics, which aren't all of the kills, show how it works and a happy membership. There's more than one, or even 2, reasons why we have this rule.
You can have all the opinions you want, but they are pretty worthless unless you have all the facts and reasons behind such a statement.
BTW...I live 5 to 5 and a half hours away myself depending on traffic.
Opinions are worthless unless you are dedicated enough and seriously considering writing a check.
I have a place similar to terrys - half my members live in the PA / NJ area. 11 and 12 hours drives are not uncommon for groups who join us.
Good luck Terry filling this - there is no better deal that I have seen. I am 5 (+) hours away from one of leases too.
<><
<--------------------<<<<<<<<
I'm shocked that no one has jumped on this.Every year we go down and this place is awesome my son looks forward to this trip every year, the day after Christmas we leave to join Michael and Woods for the week.This place is full of hogs you wont be sorry for joining this lease.Woods hayden says HI.See you in november Woods we might have a buck or two waiting on you :D
Thanks for posting all those pics. Sure is nice seeing camplife and how a place operates. Great set of hero shots, but the landscape pics are the best. Very similar to hardwoods/swamps here.
I too am now in a lease with very similar rules, one of the best things I've ever done over many years.
It would be fantastic to hunt with a bunch of like minded trad hunters! And good cooks. And folks that take after-lunch naps!
:bigsmyl:
Hey Mark, cut him a check and I'll ride up there with ya!! :D :D
Looks like an awesome place, Terry.
It was only a general statement. I dont know how you interpreted such negativity in it but that was not the purpose of it.
Ill try to stay more on topic in the future.
I have two ears and one mouth and I guess I will use them in that proportion.
Gang, if you have ever wanted to hunt some hogs this is one heck of a place to do it. The place is swarming with them!!!!!!!! Not to mention some bigguns to boot. My daughter killed her first hog at the strip. Jump on this one before it's gone.
Looks like the old Paradise Hunting Club?
I live in OK or would be great.
Larry Surtees took a job in Afganastan....so we have an opening!!!!
Terry,
I'll call you as soon as work lets up a bit.
Joe
Terry,
Sent you an e-mail.
Dave
Too close and too poor presently....wife needs a new car. Great opportunity though!
It isn't the Paradise Hunting Club..that's down around Jacksonville, Ga.
Someone called Michael directly almost immediately after this post was made this AM....and the spot is filled.
:campfire:
Godspeed to Larry Surtees and a safe return. After spending time with him last year at Hog Heaven I can sincerely say that there will be a loss felt by those who have hunted with him at the Bacon Strip.
Prayers and thoughts continued your way Larry.
Aloha Terry wish I was there in your area would love to go Hog hunting in your area good luck stuck in Hawaii :clapper: :) :archer2:
