| The following table contains harvest totals for whitetail deer hunting in South
Carolina. Since 1997, South Carolina DNR’s Wildlife Section has employed an
annual random mail survey to estimate the harvest of deer at the state and
county level. 2008 survey was sent to 25,000 hunters. Prior to 1997, deer
harvest figures were dependent on Deer Check Station reports in the
18-county Upstate and reports from hunt clubs in the 28-county Coastal
Plain. |
