Williams Wildlife offers hog hunts, great guide

A 100-pound boar hog was my target

Warm weather and the lull between small game season and turkey season makes for a slow time for hunters. But hey, anticipation of upcoming hunts is one of the best parts of being an outdoorsman, or relishing the success (or misses) of the past. However, Williams Wildlife in Lodge, located in western Colleton County, offers year-round hog hunting for those who would like to stay sharp with their rifle or bow marksmanship while collecting a little game meat. The best part of visiting the hog hunting operation, is long-time guide Billy Cooke who is a true man of the woods. Cooke will meet you, educate you about how the operation works, then guide you during your hunt. Hunters who wish to stay overnight in the hog hunting lodge can also take advantage of southern hospitality and good food thanks to Cooke's staff. Cooke's son-in-law Lee Card was on hand to help round out any scouting or hunt chores that might arise, and was just as friendly as Cooke. Williams Wildlife is a working farm that is insulated by the Salkehatchie swamp and has plenty of hogs.
