Carolina Casters' Hunting Cabin
Few of you may recall a few good posts I logged of trips out with the Carolina Casters... they brought GOOD luck with them their first trip to North Florida and had a blast scalloping their second trip down.
Well, this past week I finally made some time to visit them in South Carolina and checked out a cabin they built a few years back. Well, to say I'm jealous is a bit of an understatement... not that they've built a Taj Mahal, but instead a small, simple, warm inviting cabin in a setting in the foothills of the Carolinas that's hard to beat for anyone loving the outdoors. In just a few years they've put up some nice deer mounts, killed some great turkeys, and even have some beaver pelts they've gotten from a creek on their property.
Any of you want a hunting trip, might not hurt to say so in a reply to this post as these boys really like the saltwater life down here and might well be receptive to a good trip out in exchange for some hunting
Here's a shot of the cabin... have no idea why but when I said I wanted to take some pics the elder Caster immediately starting answering natures call. He's a bit weird like that -- had to get even for the sunburn Sargent stripes he helped me get our last fishing trip out...
Here's a better picture of the cabin without any distraction... Love the inside of the cabin. Here's a few pics of the downstairs room... But the magic of the cabin is the scenery looking outside the door... Even got a real old fashioned outhouse setup... Here's a video that gives just a taste for how scenic the setting truly is, and they own pretty much all in sight with no other homes visible...

Couldn't hunt with the Casters as had other commitments to keep but did get to see them off on their next hunt. Here the youngest Caster suits up... And off they go... Love Florida and it truly is home for me now, but always will be a deep sense of love for the Carolinas too.

Nice cabin and awesome view! I love the stone supports of different heights...great character! Thanks for sharing!
It may be that my sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
Re: Carolina Casters' Hunting Cabin
Nice,
Is it located up in the North West corner of the State?
Looks like the Oconee or Sumpter NF in the view.

Re: Carolina Casters' Hunting Cabin
Close, DeanMac -- the cabin is in Jonesville, SC which is just outside Inman/Spartanburg. Not too far at all.

EXACTLY, JT!!!
Though, being completely honest I must admit I showed the younger Caster my "Econfina Fever" video on the cell phone...

Re: Carolina Casters' Hunting Cabin
And DeanMac, I was raised not far from your stomping grounds and the cabin in Laurens, SC. Wife's from an even smaller town a few miles outside Laurens called Hickory Tavern.

Re: Carolina Casters' Hunting Cabin
I have been through Laurens all over most of the Western Piedmont of SC.
My Dad and Sister still live in Toccoa, might head up that way to visit this weekend. I need to pick up some things from a storage building I have on some land next to my Dad's for the Carrabelle place.

Hats off to Big Bend Gyrene !
We enjoyed his visit on the farm... even treated him to a "bird dog" at the Jonesville Cafe.
The Carolina Casters are looking forward to another trip down the Econfina and some payback for his first pic.
