Public Lottery Hunts - Applications

Public Lottery Hunts for Wildlife Management Areas

Please Note:

SCDNR is using an online application system for public hunts that are conducted on a lottery basis. Applications for hunts are entered under the heading "LOTTERY HUNTS" using the internet site. Be sure to have your DNR Customer ID number ready when preparing to apply. Your Customer ID number can be found on any hunting or fishing license issued by the department.

If you are an existing customer, do not create a new account. By doing so you will not receive credit for previously accumulated preference points. If you have questions or need any assistance, contact Emily Kearse at 803-734-3887 or kearsee@dnr.sc.gov.
