Clayton,
Tracy (my wife) and I used to live near Abbeville, South Carolina! I did my Ph.D., work in Clemson! While in school I hunted on the National Forest above Clemson and hunted around Greenwood and Abbeville when Tracy and I lived in that area. I had some great hunts on public land. Not many folks are willing to hike into the National Forest in the Mountains above Clemson. There was rarely much sign of hunters 1/2 mile or more off the road.
I also enjoyed some good hunts near Abbeville, South Carolina. I often traded helping with some projects for permission to hunt private land. You might attend some local Quality Deer Management Association meetings and ask landowners there if you could trade helping them for permission to hunt! Many landowners will trade help with planting food plots, preparing stands, etc ., for access to hunt.
You can find out where local Quality Deer Management Association branches are meeting at http://www.QDMA.com. There are QDMA branches throughout South Carolina.
Enjoy creation!
