Our Wounded Warriors
receive a flag-waving, heroes welcome upon arrival at our Annual Hunt.
During
our 6th Annual Hunt last year we had 45 hunters hunting on 25 of the most
exclusive private plantations in the south, assisted by 225 volunteers. They
harvested 37 deer and several wild hogs. It was our biggest and most successful
event so far. A group of taxidermists volunteered to mount anything that our
hunters brought in and worked tirelessly during the event to clean and cape the
trophies. 16 deer and 1 wild hog were mounted free of charge and shipped to our
hunters.

Coming from the south, Nemours Plantation is on the right
side of Highway 17, several miles north of Gardens Corners outside of Beaufort,
SC. Coming from the north the entrance is on the left of Highway 17
approximately ½ mile south of the Combahee River bridge. Look for the brick
gates and the Nemours Plantation sign. Follow the road onto the plantation and
bear left after passing through the second set of brick gates. Go down the
avenue of live oaks and look for the event tents.
