2021 Lowcountry Hunt - Coosaw Plantation Meet

First flight charging towards a jump

The fall foliage in the Lowcountry has been at peak for the past two weeks and everyone driving the roads to sporting engagements is raving about the red, yellow and rust colors. Ample sunshine and cool fall temps embraced the hounds and riders of the Lowcountry Hunt on Saturday November 27 at Coosaw Plantation. Just take the paved road, until it turns into a dirt road, and then when that road ends, then you have arrived - these same directions will take you to the best places along the coast.

From the time the hounds were released until the tie they were gathered again, the pack was nearly silent with no game being jumped during this hunt. A small doe on the move was spotted by the Tally Ho wagon, but the hounds will not engage a deer. The field this day included riders from Aiken and Thompson, Georgia as well as local fox hunting enthusiasts. Three flights of riders rambled across the landscape and testing a jump or two, but in the end it was Coosaw Plantation that shined brightest on this day, including the social hour hospitality at the end of the hunt along the banks of the Coosaw River.
