Sapelo Island Hunters (Tips For The Ignorant )

Jmacatee · Mar 21, 2015

Guess I should clarify on "good times". I was responding to another post about being reliant on local help. From the locals I talked to while I was there in JAN how you move around on the island while your there is totally dependent on their schedule. For example you may get dropped off a few miles from camp in morning then sitting and waiting or walking back to camp for a few hours after hunt because their not able to pick you up when you need them to. From what I understand the DNR only shuttles people from ferry to camp/camp to hunting spot during Quota hunts. If you get that 100lb hog down 1 mile from camp, well good luck!

Your right about the boat though its your best bet for moving gear to/from camp and having good hunt.

Ok I have drug a 100 pound hog all the way from 81 to camp in the past,,, thats a couple of miles. Then went to using deer hauler, and now use bikes with a trailer rated at 175# and that is the way to go,, just make sure you modify the trailer with pnumatic wide wheels,, is a lot better in soft sand with a load. We went 2 times this year in march,,,, wont do the april hunt just to hot,,, but still brought home some meat nothing big but still was a blast. I hunt there at least 4 times a year and fish too kind of an all in 1 trip for us. I take my own boat and do not want to depend on anyone for anything,,, been that way for 30 years or better. If I cant go with my own boat,,, I just dont go. The only thing we depend on the locals for is a history lesson,,, they will respect you a lot more for that.

I noticed all of my photos I posted in the past no longer show up. I know this thread has been beneficial to many so wanted to update what photos I have.

Enjoy.

Good times. Hate they took away the first rifle hunt. I just can't give up the rut at my club for this trip, but do want to go back.

Swampfoxoutdoors thanks for reposting all the pictures. First year I've put in for a quota hunt, and got drawn for Dec 1st. Your info is gonna be extremely helpful and I'm looking forward to this trip.

I did not put in for any of the hunts this year. A good friend of mine was selected for the muzzeloader hunt and had success. Here is some of the photos that he made while down on sapelo island.

Took my daughter on the A/C hunt. We seen several hogs and lots of sign. She killed a 4pt. and shot a hog but lost it in palmettos that were to thick to crawl through. Also saw a couple nice 8 pts but she wasn't able to get on them.

Just got back from sapelo it was a decent hunt I don't know exactly how many were killed but I'm guessing 15 or 20 a lot of deer were seen but the moon and weather really weren't in our favor but overall it a good hunt......I'll try to post some pictures

Sapelo Island WMA

Hello all,

I'm new to this forum, but have read and learned a lot from you guy's posts. I was wanting to know if anyone on here is going to be on the Island for the opening weekend of hog hunting in March? I'm planning on going and may have a friend or 2 with me, but also they're plans/schedules may change and I might be down there by myself. I'm borrowing a friend's boat because it's bigger than mine, in order to pack everything on it. I/we will be there sometime on Friday, March 2nd and leave on Monday, March 5th. I've talked with the DNR Supervisor, Blaine, and got some answers to questions that I had. If anyone on here is going to be there or has been there recently, any pointers on where to find the hogs, would be greatly appreciated. Also, I want to thank each one of you that has posted information on here about the island, it has helped me tremendously!

I thinking of going to Sapelo during Archery season this year, (not a quota hunt) does anyone know how far from Moses Hammock camp is the hunting area?
