Hunting
6:12 Sec.
From the Appalachian ridges of the west to the tidal marshes of the east, the Carolinas offer deer hunters something truly unique. Few places in the country combine such long seasons, varied landscapes, and strong whitetail populations with a deep-rooted hunting tradition that spans generations. A Thriving Deer Herd The white-tailed deer is the heartbeat of hunting in both North and South Carolina. Populations across the states are robust, thanks to decades of wildlife management, ample food sources, and favorable habitats. Hunters in South Carolina consistently harvest between 200,000–250,000 deer annually, while North Carolina’s harvest has hovered around 150,000– 175,000 in recent years. For sheer opportunity, few states in the Southeast can match those numbers.
