Quail and Wild Game Hunting

Georgia's famous quail hunting tradition is inextricably tied to its rich plantation history. The numerous cotton plantations established in the rich soil around Folkston in the 1850s continued to operate as winter retreats for wealthy Northerners after the agricultural collapse of the late 1870s.

These winter retreats preserved large tracts of prime quail habitat for generations. However, the longleaf pine- wiregrass ecosystem that the bob-white calls home has disappeared or become fragmented throughout much of the majestic game bird's range. The property owned by Newell Lodge harbors some the last remaining stands of longleaf pine in the Southeast.
Currently, Newell Lodge has plans to develop an area of prime quail and wild game habitat to preserve this fine Southern tradition. Expected to begin in 2013, the Newell Lodge shooting preserve will allow sportsmen to appreciate world-class hunting and the rich culture of plantation life.
