Georgia's Rio Piedra Lodge: Wingshooting Lodge of the Year
Orvis® News, September – October 2002
If you’re looking for a top-quality quail hunting experience this fall, an experience replete with famous Southern hospitality based on the rich traditions of the golden age of American shot-gunning, look no further than Rio Piedra Plantation, 2001 – 2002 Orvis®-endorsed Wingshooting Lodge of the Year.
In the golden light of an autumn morning, the crisp air filled with the scent of long leaf pine, two dogs holding rigid point on a frozen covey of native quail, it will become clear why Rio Piedra Plantation is such a sought-after wingshooting destination. If South Georgia is the Quail Hunting Capital of the World, Rio Piedra Plantation is the White House.
Rio Piedra resembles the look of South Georgia 200 years ago. Tall stands of Long Leaf Pine and wiregrass provide excellent cover for native Bobwhites. The Upland terrain overlooking the river and river bottoms is unchanged by time.
Wingshooting matured as a sport in America right here in southern Georgia. On a hunt at Rio Piedra, you’ll explore classic South Georgia quail hunting terrain along the majestic Flint River accompanied by knowledgeable guides and well-trained dogs. It’s quail hunting the way it’s supposed to be, and that’s what keeps people coming back.
