Sea duck hunting is something I have yet to experience, but from talking to some of the local waterfowl hunters, their numbers are way down as well. Scoters only make it down to SC when they have a real tough winter in the NE coast.

P J what about sea ducks. When I lived up there it was untapped resource. I used to hunt the Shillote area. Just over the N.C. line on the coast. About 30 minutes north of Calabash. Also the Georgetown area in the slews between the rice fields on public water. What about Strawberry swamp??????The Lumber River in Horry county rocked too. I know numbers are down but, my experience has been that ducks start moving further up into the swamps with hunting pressure. Thats when alot of folks give up , if there not finding ducks in there traditional spots. You are right about the cool weather . We just haven’t had it in the past few years. I’m sure thats stopping a lot of waterfowl from heading south. Locals blame it on DU planting crops up north to stop the ducks from comming down. Of course these are non DU that want to Poo Poo on anything or any org. they don’t understand.Hope you keep posting enjoy the reading. =*(^)<

SC Ducks and Geese 10-05-2005 11:31

Seems like it at times. We had a terrible season last year. I killed more local geese and local wood ducks than anything else. Unless we get a harsh winter, we see no migrants down here. I used to live in Illinois and it is becoming that way in Illinois too. Plus the Mid-Atlantic migration is way down for some reason (probably habitat loss and mild winters)

SC Wingshooting Forecast: Quail 09-30-2005 12:29

Courtesy of Quail Forever
South Carolina: Bird numbers should be similar to, or slightly down from, last year. This is based upon preliminary brood survey data which indicate a reduced juvenile:adult ratio from last year and a high percentage of adult quail seen without chicks. This apparent decrease in reproduction is likely due to a cool, wet month of June, and a very wet July. South Carolina is one of only a few states which have allocated all of their CP-33 acres (5,000 acres). Many landowners are reporting sightings of quail and other wildlife utilizing the CP-33 buffers. Upper Coastal Plain counties tend to be the best areas of the state for quail hunting. These areas still have significant acreage of row crops, and are the focal counties for CP-33. 2004-05 saw South Carolina’s 6,600 hunters harvest 97,000 wild quail. That number is down from 1980s’ harvests of nearly 1.1 million birds.
