Ichauway Dog Cemetery and Mule Barn

Nell Jean
15 years ago

Ichauway Plantation still holds quail hunts. During the tour today, we saw the kennels, the mule barn (the wagon we rode on for the tour was pulled by a pickup truck; on hunts, the wagons are pulled by teams of mules) and the cemetery where Mr. Woodruff's favorite hunting dogs are buried.

    Do they still hunt?? I would seem cruel if they did not...these animals are bred and trained for it.....

    They do still hunt, in quail season. I'm not sure just WHO hunts, but I understand that hunters come from far away to quail plantations. This one just happens to be a scientific lab as well. They study the effects of fire on pine forests, and the butterfly garden is used for teaching -- schoolteachers come for workshops. Those are just a couple of the things that go on there. We met several graduate students who are studying various plants or animals, or soil or water.
