Good Luck, Hunters! Safety Tips for Bagging the Big Buck
Hunting is a long-standing South Carolina tradition, and we want to ensure that 2020 is another great year for hunting. Before you head out this year, be sure you brush up on these safety tips. Get Educated and Stay Safe South Carolina requires hunter safety for all persons born after June 30, 1979. Completion of this course and a license are required to hunt and tag game. Those who have not taken the course and are under 17 years old can hunt with a licensed adult on Youth Hunt days. Once in the woods, all hunters must wear a blaze-orange vest, hat, or visible garment during hunting seasons. An exception is made for dove, duck, turkey, or nighttime hunters. KnowYour Zone South Carolina is broken into four different hunting zones, according to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DNR). These zones are determined based on herd
populations and land requirements, and each zone has specific regulations for hunting. For example, deer hunters in the southern portion of the state, or zone 3, can participate in archery and gun hunts from Aug. 15 to Jan. 1 Meanwhile, those who hunt in zone 4 in northwest South Carolina can archery hunt deer from Aug. 15-31 and gun hunt deer from Sept. 1 through Jan. 1. These rules only apply to private land. Public lands have varying differences. FollowYour Private orWMA Land Rules If you’re lucky to hunt on private land, then you can enjoy the amenities of your own space.
However, if you don’t have access to private land, hunting is offered on Wildlife Management Area (WMA) land. This is a great opportunity to carry on our state’s tradition without the need for owning property. However, varying regulations apply to each type of land. For example, hunting is illegal on WMA lands on Sundays. There can also be tag limitations and extra requirements for these hunters. Research your zone and the regulations before posting up on WMA land.
