Reporting your Wild Turkey Harvest is Required by Law

What is SC Game Check?

SC Game Check is an electronic harvest reporting system through the Go Outdoors SC system designed to track wild turkey harvest on a daily, county-by-county basis. SC Game Check is required by law and all turkey hunters in South Carolina must report their harvest by midnight on the day of harvest. Reporting your harvest is quick, easy, and free through the Go Outdoors SC app, website portal, toll-free phone number, or by text.

Why SC Game Check?

SC Game Check provides detailed daily harvest totals and trends throughout the season. It also provides harvest data on private land vs. public land. This, in addition to the harvest data and hunter effort data received from post-season surveys, aids SCDNR in evaluating the impact of season frameworks and help provide recommendations for regulatory and legislative decisions and allow for more adaptive approaches to managing wild turkeys into the future. Additionally, the reporting system, along with the already required physical tagging of wild turkeys, enhances bag limit compliance and provides an additional tool for enforcement of limits and regulations.

How do I report my harvest?

After harvesting and tagging your wild turkey, simply report the harvest by midnight that day by:

• Reporting your harvest in the Go Outdoors SC app, or
• Entering the harvest online through Go Outdoors SC, or
