DNR to host alligator hunting seminars
The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will conduct a series of three alligator hunting seminars in the month of August for the public alligator hunt participants, hunting assistants and other interested persons. These seminars will cover such topics as alligator capture and handling techniques, rules and regulations, alligator hunting equipment, processing and other helpful information. Each seminar will last approximately two hours.
Interested alligator hunting equipment manufacturers and retailers are invited to attend to display and demonstrate their equipment in conjunction with the seminars; however, DNR does not endorse any type, brand, or make of such equipment. Any vendors should plan on bringing their own tables, set-ups, or displays as dedicated space or tables may not be available. On premises sales are restricted at certain sites and vendor space may be limited so all interested vendors should first check and pre-register with DNR at (803) 734-3886.
The seminars dates and times are scheduled as follows:
- Saturday, Aug. 13 – 10 a.m. - Berkeley County
