Our Story

George Hi Plantation

It has been documented that George Hi Plantation, originally a land grant from the King of England, was hunted for quail before the Civil War. For the past 80 years, the DuBose family has cared for George Hi, ensuring that guests, friends, and family can enjoy an authentic southern quail hunt. Spanning nearly 1400 acres of quail habitat, the hunting operation includes experienced guides, well-trained hunting dogs, a five stand for shooting clays, a four-bedroom Quail Cottage, an eight-bedroom Lake Lodge, a private chef, and dedicated staff to provide the best southern hunting experience possible. Watching a covey rise over well-trained dogs is an exhilarating sight for quail hunters. The DuBose family remains committed to offering an unparalleled hunting experience. From October through March, they welcome hunters from across the nation to this spectacular property for some of the best quail hunting in the Southeast.
