The Hunt

DEER

Our deer hunts start early in the morning after coffee and a biscuit, about one hour before sunrise. Our guest will be given a VHF Radio and will be dropped off close to the stand and will walk to ensure not to disturb any trophy deer nearby. This method has worked wonderful in the past. We do not use any motor vehicles unless needed to pick up harvested game. As a part of our commitment to giving each hunter a personalized hunting experience, we can walk or drive hunters directly to their stand and assist them in and out quietly and safely if they choose us too. We provide the ride on all electric UTV’s due to most of our stands locations are in extremely remote areas. We have numerous handheld VHF radios to ensure the comfort of all of our hunters. Some may want to hunt longer than others. Radios come in very handy. Most guys hunt till 11-12 and come in for lunch. Then head straight back out about 3-4 hrs before dusk for your evening hunt. Smart hunters tend to stay in their stand from dust till dawn.  Alot of hunters do, and they were successful!!!! We also drive SUV’s to other property’s within 25 minutes!!! Trust me, these propertys are well worth the drive… Alot of repeat hunters choose to drive thereselves!!! We only ollow this option to repeat hunters that we trust and have the knowledge of tracking and recovering there own game!!!!

BEAR

While you are here during your deer hunt, we allow a bear to be taken FREE with proper tags and license.. Bear tipically move better in the afternoon, so most all bear hunting is done during the afternoon hunt!!! Bear hunting now days is all about being in the right spot at the right time!!!!!!!! No baiting has been in effect now for 4 years.. NO BAIT, NO EASY KILL….Still have a 30-40% chance at getting one to walk early!!!

Turkey

Semi-Guided hunters will be dropped off fairly close to where he or she should here plenty of gobblers on the roost… Then its up to the hunter to make it happen!!! We also can set you up in a groundblind with a few decoys…Fully-guided hunters will be with a guide during the entire morning hunt runnin and gunnin!!! Afternoon hunts are out of groundblinds or spot and stalk!!! Bird dies early, were going ROCK FISHING!!!!!

Waterfowl

Our duck hunts tippically start several hours before sunrise.. We meet or follow each other to gas station for coffee and biscuits then off to the boat ramp… From there its normally a 5-20 minute boat ride to the hunt spot location… Then the prep work begins for me!!!! We mainly hunt open water marsh from box blinds or boat blinds!!! We also from time to time set up on marsh points and hide the boat… This works really well late season!!! Anywhere from 60 – 200 decoys will be put out each hunt!!! More decoys ensure that high flyers have more to look at!!! It definitely makes a difference!!!

Wild Boar

Wild hogs may be taken FREE of charge during the deer season!!! There is no limit in the state of NC now, so have at em!!!!!!! Summer hunts are available with lodging and meals… Pay for room and board and pay for your hog after you kill it….. NO KILL NO PAY!!!!!!!!

2012 Wild Boar Season

January 1st – December 31st

Clay McPherson, Owner of Cutawhiskie Creek Outfitters is the President of the Roanoke-Chowan QDMA Branch and proud member of the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA), and has practiced Trophy Deer Management Strategies on the property for several years. These same strategies apply to all hunters that hunt on our land. No bucks harvested under 8 points, unless it is a mature management buck.. No DOE harvest is allowed during the month of November unless authorized… Hunters during this time will be able to harvest 2 trophy bucks that have 4 points on atleast one side. By doing this each year,  we have been seeing an increased number of yearling and Mature bucks.  This is all part of Trophy Deer Management Strategies.

Whitetail bucks typically obtain maximum antler size between 5.5 and 8.5 years of age. These older mature bucks are our primary focus. This often involves aggressive doe harvest (higher than QDM) and intensive habitat management. This also requires passing on numerous quality younger bucks with nice racks. We maintain accurate harvest records to assess management progress and to fine tune management strategies.

Fines

During our hunts, fines will be collected for taking a button buck, a buck under 8-points, and the illegal taking of any game under NC Wildlife Laws. The fine for taking a button buck is $100, the fine for taking a buck without 4 points on at least one side is $500,  and the fine for taking any game illegally that is not in season (Bear/Turkey) is $1000 and will be reported!!!  Our fines are imposed on our hunters, not as a means of income for our profit, but are set to help aid our Quality Deer Management Program.  This way each hunter will have an equal opportunity to harvest a “Trophy” on their hunt, either this season or next.

License

All hunters must have a valid North Carolina Hunting License, and abide by all NC Hunting Regulations. Out-of-state hunters are able to purchase a license by clicking the above link or at a local business upon arrival. Click the link to see application for Tundra Swan Permit This is by far the easiest method… Always remember the one year license is only $20 more than the 6 day!!! So, if you turkey hunt and duck hunt with me, its much cheaper to purchase the full year hunting license!!!

Tipping

Tipping is not required, but it is well appreciated. Our guides do everything in their power to ensure you a successful hunt!!!

Especially for the cook!! Awesome food!!!

Stands

Our guests can choose from a wide variety of stands located over various types of woods and food plots. We have tower stands, ladder stands, ground blinds, tripods, and others.

Be sure to bring a climber if your bow hunting!!!Some of our stands can comfortably and safely accommodate two hunters (father and son, husband & wife) at one time. Shooting distances can range from 10 yards up to 500 yards depending on which stand the hunter selects. Average shot range is about 125 yrds to most feeders..
