Haven't received tags and need deer tags immediately?
Go to print tags - https://www2.dnr.sc.gov/customerprivilegesportal
If you have just purchased a Hunting License and Big Game Permit, or have just requested or purchased deer tags and want to deer hunt immediately, a temporary set of deer tags can be downloaded and printed by accessing the Customer Privileges Portal on the SCDNR website at https://www2.dnr.sc.gov/ customerprivilegesportal.
These self-printed temporary tags are only valid until your permanent tags arrive in the mail.
Important Information
- 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 (and Farmer’s Market), Florence, and York.
- Resident hunters who have an active License/Big Game Permit when deer season begins will automatically receive their base set of tags in late July. Residents whose License/Big Game Permit expires before deer season begins should renew their License/Big Game permit at least 7-10 days prior to deer hunting so their deer tags can arrive in the mail.
- Tags are valid for the entire deer season, however, hunters must maintain an active License/Big Game Permit to legally deer hunt.
