Thanks for posting swampchicken. Knew about the tags just didn’t know how it is suppose to work… Also signed up for e-mail reports from DNR.
Deer tags WILL NOT be available over the counter at point-of-sales vendors (Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods; etc.). They will be available over the counter at SCDNR offices located in Charleston, Clemson, Columbia (downtown and Farmers Market), Florence, and York after Aug. 1. Tags may be requested by phone after July 1 at 1-866-714-3611 or online at: http://dnr.sc.gov/purchase.html. Tags will not be mailed until early August.
Resident hunters who have active licenses/big game permits when deer season begins will automatically receive their base sets of tags about Aug. 1. Residents whose licenses/big game permits expire before deer season begins should renew their licenses/big game permits at least 7-10 days prior to the start of deer season to ensure their deer tags arrive in time via mail.
“Why Bruce?”
Long time coming, glad its finally here.
Received my DQP info 2 weeks ago. 9 antlered, 35 non-antlered.
Most play by the property rules, but now a landowner has the most complete control of guests harvesting bucks.

If you don’t mind me asking Poly, how big is your property?

quote:simple- use their last tag and kill the 17th one. That should hold them.

If your guests don’t respect what you ask them to shoot and not shoot you might want to rethink your friendship. I’ve never doubted any of the 3 people I’ve let hunt…
3?

If I round up a good pack of walkers can I do a thanksgiving hunt on your property?
Just kidding… I’d only want to bring some small beagles. Just kidding again…
“Why Bruce?”
So they killed the buck on your property and for reasons known only to you it wasn’t “good” enough. You don’t give them a tag and then you call the warden,who gets the ticket?

Thanks, I was just curious as we started practice QDM on our property about 6 years ago. Our tract is just slightly smaller than yours and last year we harvested 6 nice bucks and 28 does while letting a lot of questionable bucks walk.

I just want to shoot does anyway…
DNR was live on Facebook to discuss this topic.

A step in the right direction, in my opinion.
No matter how much it hurts, how dark it gets, or how far you fall…you are never out of the fight.
I’ve killed a few deer over the years, and while I don’t necessarily disagree with the concept I think it’s just more big brother telling you what you can and can’t do with your own property. The renegade hunter laws and sensible enforcement would have done more to help.
The land you own/lease is your “property,” not the game that resides on it. Wild game is a natural resource and “property” of the state.
Discussions and public meetings about this topic have been going on for many years and the hunters themselves are the ones that have asked for new regs. Some wanted more while some wanted less. The number(s) the DNR and the General Assembly have approved are based on what the hunters have been asking for. The DNR didn’t just pull these numbers out of thin air.
