Besides gas and hunting licence about what will it cost for boat ride and food for the hunt?

Unless you take your own boat, the ferry is $75. Food is what you take yourself. The island has absolutely nothing except a cooler for the deer and hogs, and showers.

BTW, the $75 is per person. On the hog hunt I was there a guy forgot his gun in the truck, he called the ferry and asked if he would come get him to get his gun,he was told it would be another $75. So don't forget nothing.

My three teenage boys, my father and I are headed to Ossabaw for the either sex deer hunt 11/11/2015. We hope to get some Deer and Hogs. We have never hunted hogs or even seen a hog in the wild so that is all new to us we live and hunt near Athens so this will be quite the adventure I am so excited about it.

2 of my 3 boys have not killed a deer yet so I am hoping to get them their first deer, and hogs have always interested all of us so we are all excited about that opportunity as well.



Thanks

Scott

I was the new Ossawbaw hunter that everyone was willing to give advice to. My 3 boys, father and I had a great time, the other hunters were awesome people the kind of people that you would like to be friends with even after the hunt, you couldn't ask for better people. we didn't kill any thing in our group. we had some opportunities but in the end the coolers were nice and light carrying home. (not how I planned ) but still a great trip. JR (13) hunted hard with my father the whole trip never saw a deer or hog. we hunted all over the place 65, walk in E side, 28 N and 28 S and 59. I saw 2 hogs while hunting and 4 little island deer 3 of which were in the road where I couldnt shoot. same size as a fall fawn where I live near Athens. but one guy killed 2 deer and 5 hogs. other folks killed multiple hogs and limited on deer so they are there we just aren't too good at hunting but we have fun trying.

We had a great trip with the adult/child hunt last weekend. Unpacked and getting ready to repack. Discovered a few camping supplies that had degraded. They will be replaced this week. Also discovered the value of a good deer cart! Highly valuable piece of equipment. Looking forward to hitting the island again!!
