Jesse Batyko - 2/6/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Good time. Damon, Clint and Kevin were great guides. Made the experience fun and interesting. Darlene was an excellent chef and every meal was better than I could expect. This was my second year at the ORL. I had a great time both years, and already signed up for next year. Thank you."

Tim Burke - 2/1/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Had a great time, even though i didn’t get a hog. Accommodations were really nice, clean and relaxing before and after the hunts. Kevin, Damon and Clint are top notch, Darlene made delicious meals for us and even stayed late the one night we were out late hunting. Above and beyond there IMO. Stands were great, plenty of feed out I can’t wait to come back next year and do it again. Thanks for a great hunt ORL!"

Chuck Miller - 1/19/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Just returned home from my first of what will be many trips to Oconee River Lodge. My trip was from 1/12/23 to 1/15/23. The accommodations at the lodge are awesome! Darlene is an exceptional host, an awesome cook and a great conversationalist. The food was always hot, ready and plentiful after returning from morning and evening hunts (Axis deer sausage dogs were amazing). There were plenty of snacks to choose from too. Guides Clint and Damon’s work ethic and experience are second to none. They went above and beyond to put me on hogs and made me feel right at home. They are very passionate about what they do and it really shows. Hunting on the many thousands of acres they have was a real treat. Stands, feeders and food plots were on point. It was really nice to meet good genuine down to earth hard working folks that actually take pride in what they do and make you truly feel like family. Top notch operation and I Cannot wait to go back!!!"
Danielle Bolton - 1/18/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I have been hunting with Kevin for 10 years prior in South Carolina and this is my 2nd year hunting with him at his camp in Georgia. Every year has been exceptional, food has been great, lodges are just as they seem on the website, and the hospitality from the day you arrive to the day you leave is always amazing. Since Kevin has opened his own guide service I have harvested 2 - 130 class bucks. I have always been impressed with the guide and the game. Highly recommend Kevin!"
Steven Mastrosimone - 1/18/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My 15 yr old son and I hunted with Kevin and his staff this season. We had some great sits where we saw deer at ever sit. We did not harvest a buck as our family rule is to shoot one bigger than you did last year but that is hunting. We did see deer at every sit and that is more than I could ask for. By the looks of things, Kevin is putting money into the lodge and stands. Everyone was nice and a little funny too but I guess that’s what happens when us northerners come down south. We will definitely come back. Kevin thank you for the laughs and great sits. See you next season."
James Williamson - 1/17/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Had a pretty good time hog hunting with Oconee River Lodge. The facilities are good and the food was excellent. The cook is a very gracious host and went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. The hunting was a little slow. Our guides put us over feeders during the day. The food plots were in excellent shape. The stands we used were approximately 4 x 4 and were clean and well constructed. We did see a ton of deer. I saw 17 in a food plot an hour before sunset with some good shooters. It seemed like the hogs were mostly nocturnal while we were there. We switched up hunting strategies our last day to night hunting. So only 2 of the 4 of my group got a boar. All and all for a first trip out definitely got a good lay of the land. The only negative I’d say was after none of us saw any the first day we should have started hunting that night after dark. This was a positive experience and I will be going back."
Laura Cason - 1/17/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great experience. Great hospitality and food. Seen some good deer!"
Big Verleni - 1/16/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Hunted with Kevin for as long as I can remember. Hospitality is great, food is off the charts, and the lodging is very comfortable. These guys go out of their way to help you harvest an animal and I have a bunch hanging on my walls from their place. Do yourself a favor and just book the hunt you won’t be disappointed."
Ray Anderson - 1/16/23 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Had a great time the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful, accommodations were top notch and food was great, Damon my guide has guaranteed my willingness to return every year"
