Thats crazy,deer season opening so early.They must be over run with deer down there.What are the bag limits?
From the SCDNR regulations.
"Deer Seasons on Private Lands. Game Zone 6.
No limit on antlered bucks.
Limit 2 antlerless deer on either-sex days.
Archery & Gun Hunts: Aug. 15 - Jan. 1, buck only
Either-Sex: Oct. 4, 11, 18, 25, Nov. 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, Dec. 20, 27, Jan. 1"
"With the Individual Antlerless Deer Tag Program hunters can purchase either 2 or 4 tags per person, for $5 each, which can be used on any day open to deer hunting with the following Game Zone restrictions: ... In Game Zones 3-6 tags are valid starting Sept. 15. Tags do not have to be used on scheduled either-sex days.Tags do not alter the daily or seasonal bag limits prescribed for Game Zones."
So in Game Zone 6there is no limit on antlered bucks. You should buy 2 doe tags just in case you want to shoot your two does when it is not an either-sex day.
In Game Zone 2 we have Bow Season starting Sept. 15, Muzzle-Loaders start Oct. 1, and Rifle starts Oct. 11. We have the same either-sex days when our season opens. Our limits are 5 antlered deer and 10 total, with no more than 2 per day. I'll probably buy 4 doe tags.
