Free hunting days Jan. 4-5, 2013

The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is proud to announce the first annual free hunting days Jan. 4-5, 2013. If you ever wanted to experience the thrill of hunting, the relaxation of spending time in the woods or the joy of a new adventure with family and friends, this is the time to get out there and see all South Carolina’s natural resources have to offer.
Please note that all existing seasons, bag limits and methods of take still apply so check the 2012-2013 Rules and Regulations for more information. The free hunt days do NOT extend deer or any other season.
There is a youth deer hunt day on Jan. 5. Youth 17 years of age and under can hunt deer as long as they are accompanied by a licensed adult 21 years or older. Only the youth may take or attempt to take game and license requirements are waived for the youth hunter.
