I first want to thank all of you who saw fit to join us for hunts at our special place on the Savannah River over the last four years.
Of all the benefits gained the most significant has been the many close and important friendships made on these hunts, and for that I am most grateful
Andrew Harper- the landowner- will be your host going forward.

Dear Fellow Purists,
Ray and I want to thank all of you for your interest and support for Hog Heaven over these last four years. You have made it an ongoing operation that has introduced us to new friends and left us with memories of great weekends.
Ray and I have had a number of personal and business events in our lives that are necessitating some changes in Hog Heaven's operations. As you know, Ray has been operating the camp and hunting operation largely on his own. This has included correspondence, bookings, meeting you in Estill, cooking, hunting advice, hunting stories (some even true!), etc. Because of expanded business and work opportunities, along with personal obligations, Ray will, for the most part, be taking leave from Hog Heaven and the BowCamp. He has had a fine four year run that has made Hog Heaven into a viable hunting operation. But between family, work, and a five hundred mile round trip, the BowCamp is eating up too much of his time.
Beginning September 1st, I will operate the BowCamp along with managing the hunting lands. A number of changes and improvements are in the works at this time. Some of them are
1.
http://huntwildthings.com/ is under construction and will be up and running soon.
2.Accommodations will be a separate bunkhouse with four sets of bunks and two full bathrooms for eight hunters.
3.A lodge with fireplaces, full kitchen, dining area, and porch on a 32 acre lake. (Bring your fishing gear!)
4.The lodge and bunkhouse are on an additional 350 acres of hunting land that is comprised of pine upland, hardwood forests, and swampland. This land is on the opposite side from the old camp (nearer to Estill) and has almost two miles of common border with the land you've been hunting.
5.More roads with better access to the Savannah River Swamp.
6.Plantings in fields and roadsides year round for hogs and deer. Also, plantings of hardwoods and fruit trees in the upland areas to enhance wildlife feedings in the piney areas.
7.Specific areas for tree stand and elevated hunting only.
8.Three day AND five day hunts will be available.
9.Expanded cooking and menus.
Again, I want to thank Ray and Mike for their hard work these last four years. The camp's "rustic" appearance and nature have been challenging for Ray and you, our guests. Please continue visiting us this year in the South Carolina Lowcountry for a great experience.
Thank all of you again for your interest and patronage in the past.
Sincerely,
Andrew Harper
