Skeeter Branch Hunting Preserve

Ducks Ducks Ducks , Best hunt ever! Worth every penny. Robert and his dog did amazing collecting our birds. If u don’t shoot your limit you were sleeping !
Ducks every where!!

Amazing set up. Super nice people. Today was my first time but I will be returning to this gem often! Thank you all so very much.

Skeeter Branch was an excellent choice for a quick two day gateway. We arrived on a Monday afternoon, settled into our overnight cabin and then headed down to the gathering area and enjoyed some socializing with a fire and live guitar signing. Eat and mouthwatering steak dinner cooked by Skeeter Branch people. Went to bed and then woke up at 6 threw the duck gear on and was shuttled to the stand by tractor. The ducks were flying great and took our limit while watching the duck dogs retrieve the birds. Once back to the gathering area we eat a delicious breakfast while they cleaned the duck meat for us. Once breakfast was done we loaded our gear up and headed out around noon. Great time will definitely be back next year!

Highly recommend for anyone wanting a low key, but awesome experience. Very well put together.

This is a great place to bring family, friends and new hunters. My daughter had a blast! Daniel and his staff do a excellent job! Plenty of bird's!!

Absolutely amazing experience. Our group books one hunt every year here. The Cathys are incredibly hospitable and great people who make the stay as fun and comfortable as possible. The food alone is worth the trip, but combined with the hunting it makes for a phenomenal time. There's a ton of ducks that make every hunt wildly exciting. Cannot recommend this place enough.

We do this trip every year. Great venue for a corporate retreat or friends who want to shoot some ducks without all the logistics required for a wild bird shoot.

This was an awesome experience. Top notch staff, all family run. Excellent food and venue. Nothing fancy here, just good people in a relaxed environment. Would recommend to anyone for a quick getaway. Duck shoot was well put together. Absolutely nothing bad to say about these folks.

This is a great place for friends, family, and first timers. The ducks are plentiful and Daniel and staff are great hosts.

Daniel and his staff do an excellent job. Everything they do is first class and they make you feel very welcome. Love taking customers and friends to shoot ducks here.

As close to wild that you can get. The Cathy's always give you a wonderful experience. Just about an hour and a half from Atlanta. You may bring your own dog! Great lodging.

I had the pleasure of hunting the Skeeter Branch Hunting Preserve of Lavonia, Georgia, about two weeks ago; and perhaps a 5 star rating warrants some explanation.
Certainly wild ducks will be more 'wily' than raised ducks, and multiple species of birds challenges a hunter's skill absolutely. But... Setting aside distinctions between a Waterfowl Preserve 'shoot' versus a traditional wild-wetlands "Hunt", there remains the altogether same experience of marksmanship, skill, sportsmanship, comraderie, and variables that together constitute some element of 'chance' or 'luck'. Importantly, when hunting with "newbies", more environmental stability usually translates into more Safety... and, as in my case, this degree of control makes for IDEAL hunting for retrievers on their first hunts. 5 years old, good with hand signals and Death to tennis balls, this was my Black Lab's - (ECHO) - first time hunting.
Coming from out of state, I was delighted - and fortunate - that Skeeter Branch was able to schedule me for a hunt on fairly short notice. The Georgia Preserve Shooting License was reasonable and easy to purchase online. My contact and Guide (Danny) was friendly, courteous, and professional. He determined my experience level before assigning me to a pond by myself.
I appreciated this especially.
While I truly enjoy duck hunting in company with others, a dog on their first few hunts CAN be very difficult, and requires absolute attention on the owner's part. This monopolizes the blind, and can be very aggravating to others both in and around the blind.
Fortunately, 'Echo' performed Very Well. I am so glad I brought here here. Sure, I had to get out of the blind a couple times to help her out with hand signals, and accordingly flared dozens of mallards that could've shortened my hunt.... But...with an absolutely gorgeous bluebird day,.... ducks flying.... good-dog a-fetching....
Why would I want to do that......?

Can't wait to go back.

Great facility for entertaining customers, friends and family. The Kathy family and staff do an outstanding job and always make you feel welcomed. Excellent!

Very authentic for a preserve hunt. Guides and accommodations are great!!

Breath-taking views, great hospitality, and terrific experience even if you don't hunt.

I went to the duck hunting club Skeeter Branch Hunt .
With my friends and had the hunt of a life time. All of the people that runs this place get a 100% + they know what they are doing.

Had a great time here as usual, this was my fourth trip and as always worth coming.

Great hunt, meals and hospitality

Best duck hunt ever!
