    I was told there’s a very, very long waiting list to get in when I inquired last year. They seem to be killing a good many birds of various species already this year. There are a few guys on here that hunt there.

    Like shooting fish in a barrel. Release birds for the most part. You'll get to shoot some ring necks and woodies as well. Maybe a few other species mixed in. Have fun. If you meet Lou Tocci tell him I said hello. He's my old boss and a good dude.

    I got Rogers waders. And you should know by now, I don't offend easily. Jackass.

    If shooting over live decoys in a corn pond is your thing, then by all means, have at it.

    I will simply present this as a statement of fact. I hunted there one morning 3-4 years ago, and from my blind, I could see shotguns poke up out of 9 other blinds.

    I’ve been once, you’ll kill ducks, enjoy yourself. But it’s a Tamie heybo operation.

    certainly not addressed at you.
    unless of course, you have been before and were in any of the pics.

    you'll enjoy it.

    Couldn't agree more. I despise shooting ringers mainly because they are a bitch to clean. I've been to TP's before. I would not really classify it as a tamie op since they don't release. However, it's the next best thing. LOL!!

    I love shooting ring necks! They're like little fighter jets. I was in a club on the upper west branch of the Cooper River and, some years, ringos were all we had. I love the sound of them sizzling by overhead.

    I only shoot deer because I like to eat them. I only eat ducks because I like to shoot them. Ring necks are sporty shooting.

    Not to my knowledge they do not. They certainly shoot plenty.

    Yes. They release plenty of birds. I lived down there, at Two Ponds, for a brief period during my move from TR to Sumter. I've seen the whole operation and unless something has changed recently, they release/raise a shittun of birds.

    We hunted it prob 7 or 8 years ago and the :guide" told me they raise x amount of birds per year for the members to shoot at. We sat in a blind in the middle of a small flooded corn field. Could see trucks all along the roads, guys out there hammering on calls when black birds flew by, could hear people yelling at dogs too. We were only allowed 1 box of shells per person. When the shooting go really slow, we walked to the end of the pond and kicked up about a dozen mallards that had been swimming out there since daybreak. The lodge area was really cool. The owner came in and you would have never known he had 2 pennies to rub together but he was a really cool laid back guy. Talked to us like he had known us for years. It was funny hearing them all fight over certain blinds while cutting the price tags off their new coats and waders. It was literally like shooting fish in a barrel though. Just go and enjoy it for what it is. Doubtful you will ever see so many mallards in 1 place in SC.
