Youth Hunting Applications
South Carolina Department of Natural Resources especially wants to introduce these new hunters to the challenges, thrills and enjoyment associated with hunting. Equally important, we want to make sure this introduction is done safely and ethically.
The age requirements for these special youth deer hunts are 10-17. There is no application fee, or any other costs associated with these hunts. Participants who are 16 and 17 will be required to have a junior hunting license. Young people who have an interest in trying deer hunting but have not had previous opportunities because they lacked a hunting connection should certainly apply. Applications are available online at https://www.gooutdoorssouthcarolina.com/ and the Go Outdoors SC app.
