Won't be popular and probably won't pass, but I hope it does.


Then maybe we can move on to doing something about the poor condition of waterfowl in this state.

They did a good job

[LabLuvR]

I agree we need this!

[WoodieSC]

Overdue, at least around here. I don’t see a fraction of the birds I used to and nobody is hunting them on the adjacent properties enough to cause a reduction.

i'd rather hunt in late march

but i dont shoot but one or two.....

[Highstrung]

enthralling

They missed a chance to make out of state hunter limit 1 and hefty price tag for the out of state tag.

hip tuck turn
or whatever that stupid golf thing was

they aint missed a chance.
this is just DNRs opinion. the .gov will decide next session. 2024 is the earliest this can happen (to vote for 2025 regs). DNR doesnt get into "politics" of license fees and whatnot for OOSers.

I was hoping for April 1st- May 1st for game zones 3 & 4 but I’m not mad about it. Something needed to be done and this will be better for the turkeys.

Not selling farmland for cookie cutter housing developments would be a good start.

At least where I live it would be. Gonna look like these Michigan suburbs before long with the gobblers chasing the mail man and harassing kids on the playgrounds. Roosting on cell towers and such.

If SC turkey hunting can become half as good as MI turkey hunting, then bring it on

Amen. Some of my favorite turkey properties from a few years ago are now subdivisions full of yankees.

But I thought this group did not like conservation easements that protect properties from urban sprawl and Suburban development?

SCDNR can regulate hunter days and put limits on the number of birds a hunter is allowed to kill in a season, but there still wont be a single wild turkey in this state in 50 years because nothing is being done to preserve habitat. Sad but true.

Fortunately you are incorrect, conservation easement have protected well over a million Acres of private land in South Carolina. This land is preserved in perpetuity and protected from development. These easements Ensure that land remains agricultural, forested, and rural and utilized in such a way that preserves critical habitat.
Charleston, beaufort, bluffton, lower Jasper County and Savannah are all growing at rapid paces right now fortunately massive amounts of acreage is preserved through conservation easements to stop this development from getting into rural areas. They are still properties I wish more protected and maybe they will be at some point
