BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.–Due to unprecedented statewide flooding, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources has declared a temporary closure for hunting within five coastal plain drainage systems on all game species except for alligator, doves, hogs and coyotes.
The Department has received contacts from numerous concerned sportsmen.
The flooding has created potential for exploitation of game species that are deprived of their normal escape routes and confined to small areas of high ground.
Effective at Midnight on Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2015, a 4-day closure of the hunting season for all game species excluding alligator, dove, hogs and coyotes will be in effect.
The current closure will continue until Midnight, Sunday, Oct. 11, 2015. DNR will continue to monitor flooded areas to adjust the closure zones and timeframes as conditions change.
