Skeeter Branch Hunting Preserve is 250 acres of hunting paradise nestled in the northeast corner of
Georgia just minutes from Hartwell lake (5th largest reservoir east of the Mississippi River).
Skeeter Branch's flooded cornfield's and annual wild duck release program guarantees a duck hunt of a
lifetime.  Bob Cathey, a cattle farmer and egg producer,  envisioned a duck hunter's dream when he, his
wife Leila and son Daniel founded Skeeter Branch in 1985. Skeeter Branch offers comfortable lodging for
up to sixteen people, home cooking, dog accommodations, guides and calling in an atmosphere that is
second to none.
Facilities:   Additions and improvements are always being made to make your visit with us live up to the
"duck hunt of a lifetime" guarantee. The facilities include the original hunting lodge, a new bunk house, an
outdoor picnic area with fireplace and a remodeled cabin originally constructed in the 1800's. The pre civil
war era cabin is the latest addition to the lodge grounds and is a must see for history enthusiasts.   


We would like to thank all of the
wonderful hunters and guests who
helped make the 2007-2008 season a
successful year for Skeeter Branch
Hunting Preserve. In both number of
guests served and birds taken, Skeeter
Branch set new records and we are
planning an even busier 2008-2009
season. We encourage you to book early
to lock in the dates you most prefer.
Thank you again and have a prosperous
year!
