Where this bill stands in the legislative process.
This bill removes references to registered party dog hunts from South Carolina’s bear hunting regulations in Game Zone 1. It maintains the existing open season for bear hunting with still guns and dog hunts, but clarifies rules regarding bear tags, limits on harvest, and prohibits certain practices like baiting and hunting from watercraft. The bill was the result of amendments and conference committee work between the House and Senate to address initial disagreements.
