🦌 LET’S LEAD BY EXAMPLE THIS DEER SEASON

We want to take a moment to thank every one of our members and supporters.

Over the past several months, you showed up, spoke up, submitted comments, attended hearings, and represented the sporting dog community with respect. Your participation made a real impact. The record collected by SCDNR reflects your voices, your experiences, and your commitment to responsible hunting in South Carolina.

Now that deer season is underway, this is an important time for every hunter who values the tradition of dog hunting in South Carolina.

The conversations of the past year have reminded us that the future of dog hunting depends on responsibility, communication, accountability, and respect — not only within our own community, but across the entire hunting community.

Our SCSDA Code of Ethics reflects the standards we believe all hunters should uphold. As you spend time in the woods this season, we encourage everyone to put those values into practice:

• Know and respect property boundaries.
• Communicate before and during hunts.
• Check in with neighbors and landowners.
• Address concerns early and directly.
• Hold ourselves — and each other — to a higher standard.

Most importantly, we must be willing to police our own behavior. When something isn’t right, we should correct it. Responsible decisions in the field protect our reputation, strengthen relationships, and demonstrate the professionalism and ethics of South Carolina’s sporting dog community.

Our heritage is worth protecting.

Let’s show our state what dog hunters stand for — courtesy, accountability, responsibility, and respect.

Thank you for your continued engagement, your voice, and your commitment to ethical hunting.

Together, we protect the future of dog hunting in South Carolina.

t’s easy to remember exactly where that deer was standing while you’re still in the stand. Then you climb down, walk over there…and suddenly every tree looks the same. 😂

Before you ever leave your stand, pick out a tree, stump, rock, or another obvious landmark near where the deer was standing when you took the shot. That reference point can save you a lot of searching and help you locate important evidence at the hit site.

Blood, hair, tracks, bone, or other clues can help tell the story of what happened—and finding the correct hit site is where that story begins.

We were called last night, and asked to come help recover this buck. The hunter felt they had already jumped the deer out of his bed once and he didn't want to chance pushing the deer so he asked us to come assist. We contacted Shelby Snyder with Rockin Tree's Wounded Game recovery and asked if she would like to help us on this track. Our dogs are tired, and with the chance of having another bay, we thought it a good idea to tag team this track.

We arrived at the hunters location at 10 pm, gathered some more info, geared up, and dropped the dogs. The dogs covered about 130 yds in four minutes, and were standing on top of the buck. The buck didn't go far from his first bed, and expired in his second bed, while the hunters were waiting on us to arrive. Due to the hunters decision to not continue to push this deer, led to an easy recovery, and short drag.

Thank you to the hunters that continue to put their faith in us and our dogs. Stay safe and happy hunting.
