The annual end of duck season hunt at Black Swamp yielded a FIRST duck for a special youth hunter visiting from Mount Pleasant. A cold 36-degree morning greeted the hearty waterfowlers that assembled in Jasper County to occupy duck blinds in the upland impoundments. ALL of the Black Swamp property is under conservation easement with
Ducks Unlimited, and is one part of the greater Savannah River Preserve. Wood ducks, teal, and ringnecks were seen, as well as snipe and a host of shorebirds. A grand southern breakfast served to complete the final duck hunt of the 2011/2012 season.
Goose season does not go out on January 29 with duck
season, but rather geese stay in season until February 3. Goose season does
close February 4 and 5, during the special youth waterfowl days, but geese come
back in season for a special late harvest opportunity, which runs February 6 –
9.
