The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Hunter Education Program is dedicated to the safe enjoyment of our outdoors. Through this program, students learn about responsibility and ethics in the field, as well as firearms safety.

Who needs a Hunter Education Card?

All residents and non-residents born after June 30, 1979, must complete a hunter education course before a hunting license can be obtained.
