White Oak Plantation -- Part II

Excellent services will enhance your visit

by Kevin Lee McIver

This is the second article of my series on White Oak Plantation, one of the premier hunting lodges in the United States.

This all-inclusive hunting experience affords outdoors' enthusiasts the chance to bag their favorite game while enjoying pure Southern hospitality.

What makes this a quality hunting package is not only the trophy game management program at White Oak, but the services provided by the owners, Robert and Hilda Pitman and their staff.

Quaint lodging, excellent meals, on-site shooting range, transportation to-and-from the hunt, game retrieval and game processing are included, leaving the guests to have a good time while hunting.

I would describe lodging at this lodge as rustic and comfortable. Guest rooms have two single beds and a private bath, and unexpectedly are named after our favorite game animals. In fact, I stayed in the "Squirrel" room which was adorned with little stuffed critters on the walls.

This unique decor is supplemented with hunting pictures, plaques and antique advertisements, setting the tone for your hunting expedition.

Meals at White Oak are equally satisfying. Wild game, soups, vegetables, fruits, homemade bread and some of the tastiest desserts found anywhere ensure you never leave the table hungry.

Truly, every meal is worthy of praise, but what makes each one special are the members of the staff whom dine with you, providing interesting table-talk and discussions. Having guides, trappers and others eating alongside reminds me of meals at my grandparent's farm 30 years ago. Back then, friends and family would feast on my grandmother's cooking, while talking about the topics of the day. It's the same at the Pitman's.

White Oak Plantation offers incomparable services for the avid deer, rabbit, quail or turkey hunter. Your chance of taking a trophy animal are excellent, while at the same time enjoying the best in Southern hospitality.

Above all, you can rest assured you will return home with some great memories and fully satisfied. Give the Pitman's a call at (334) 727-9258, you'll be glad you did. And maybe I'll see you at one of the fine hunts next season.
