Narrative:
On takeoff from jzp (pickens county) I hit a bird with the propeller around 50 ft. Numerous birds flew out of the tall grass along the runway (runway 16) on rotation. The grass is seldom cut. There was no damage but the bird was killed by the propeller. The windshield on the right side was covered with bird guts. This is a continuing problem with this airport. There is no local management. Very poorly run.
