Another reason South Carolina is a sportsman’s paradise

South Carolina just joined the ranks of states that allow alligator hunting-Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi are the others. 1,000 permits will be made available through a drawing this year. $10 application fee and a $100 permit fee is due if you are drawn and accept the permit. Application can be made at DNR's Website, www.dnr.sc.gov/purchase.html

The website provides guidelines for hunting alligators and DNR will be hosting optional seminars for permitted alligator hunters. The season begins September 13^th and ends October 11^th.
