The S.C. Department of Natural Resources will begin issuing annual and three year recreational licenses that expire on the anniversary date of issue beginning Jan. 1, 2015.
This is commonly referred to as a 365 day license.
You can buy your South Carolina hunting and fishing licenses multiple ways. Licenses are available in person at any of the four regional S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) offices or by visiting one of the 500 license vendors across the state. Licenses are also available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 1-866-714-3611 or by visiting the DNR website at www.dnr.sc.gov/purchase.html. Having your state issued identification ready and a SC hunting/fishing license that displays your customer identification number will speed your purchase.
Residents and nonresidents age 16 and older must purchase the required licenses to hunt and fish in South Carolina. Persons born after June 30, 1979, must have successfully completed a hunter education course prior to obtaining a hunting license. To find a course near you or complete hunter education online, visit www.dnr.sc.gov/education/hunted.html.
South Carolina hunters and anglers remain the state’s top conservationists. Through your purchase of a state recreational hunting and fishing license, combined with excise tax collected on hunting and fishing gear, hunters and anglers contribute funding to South Carolina’s wildlife and sportfish restoration projects.
This includes wildlife management, habitat management, research, education and boating access. Without these dollars, fish and wildlife conservation projects would be very limited in South Carolina.
