MARK YOUR CALENDARS - Youth deer hunt days on private land are right around the corner!

Game Zones 3 & 4: Saturday, Aug. 8

Game Zone 2: Saturday, Sept. 12

Game Zone 1: Saturday, Sept. 26

The fall 2026 deer season dates are available in the updated 2026-2027 Rules and Regulations Book.

Please note the dates published in the 2025-2026 Rules and Regulations Book are for the 2025 deer season and are NOT accurate for this fall.

*An additional statewide youth day on all private lands and certain WMAs will occur after the regular season on Jan. 2, 2027.

Regulations for pre-season youth days are:

Private lands only.
-For youth 17 years old and younger.
-Youth hunters who have not completed the hunter education program must be accompanied by an adult at least 21 years of age.
-There are no license or tag requirements for youth or accompanying adults on this designated youth day.
-Adults may guide, however, only the youth may take or attempt to take deer.
-Guns, Primitive Weapons, or Archery equipment are allowed.
-ANTLERED DEER ONLY, Bag Limit 1.
NOTE: Some Deer Processors may not be open prior to the regular season, please plan accordingly prior to hunting regarding care and handling of your harvest.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUTH DAY HARVEST REPORTING:

While license and tag requirements are waived for a youth during designated “Youth Deer Hunting Days” to allow youth without tags or a license a special opportunity to hunt, youth that have deer tags are encouraged to use them on these days.

The law DOES NOT waive harvest reporting requirements for youth days. All deer harvested on youth days MUST be reported using the Go Outdoors SC / SC Game Check harvest reporting system.

Youth with tags can use them and utilize the normal reporting methods: mobile app, website, text, or phone.

Youth without tags will need to utilize the EXEMPT HUNTER reporting form at license.gooutdoorssouthcarolina.com OR from the main menu icon (3 horizontal lines at top left) on the opening page of the Go Outdoors SC mobile app, to report their harvest on youth days.

Once the regular season is open, all youth must have deer tags and report through the normal methods.

South Carolina’s hunting heritage wasn’t built by people sitting behind keyboards—it was built by generations of sportsmen and women who respected the land, cared for their dogs, and passed these traditions on to the next generation.

Let’s be honest: every sport has bad apples. Deer hunting with hounds is no exception. But a handful of irresponsible individuals should never be used as an excuse to restrict the rights of thousands of ethical, law-abiding houndsmen across our state.

We don’t need more regulations that burden responsible hunters.

We need fair, consistent enforcement of the laws already in place. Hold those who break the law accountable, but don’t punish everyone for the actions of a few.

If we stay silent, others will shape the future of hound hunting for us. If you value South Carolina’s hunting heritage and want future generations to have the same opportunities we’ve had, now is the time to make your voice heard.
