The bill H. 4066 proposes amendments to Section 50-11-310 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which governs the open seasons for hunting antlered deer. The key changes include establishing the open season for hunting antlered deer with archery equipment and firearms in Game Zones 1 and 2 from October 11 through January 15. This adjustment modifies the previous dates, which allowed hunting with archery equipment and firearms until January 1.
Additionally, the bill specifies the hunting seasons for each game zone, with Game Zone 1 allowing primitive weapons from October 1 to October 10, and Game Zone 2 permitting archery equipment only from September 15 to September 30, followed by similar provisions as Game Zone 1. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
