Item Report of the Department of Natural Resources on Act 41 122nd Session of the South Carolina General Assembly (2015) Wild Turkey Resources in South Carolina with Recommendations on Seasons and Bag Limits 2018(South Carolina State Library, 2018-11-01) South Carolina Department of Natural ResourcesAct 41 temporarily sets a March 20 to May 5 statewide season for hunting wild turkey on private land by suspending until July 2019 Section 50-11-520 which historically prescribed the wild turkey season in South Carolina. The Act required the South Carolina Dept of Natural Resources to conduct an analysis of the turkey resources in the state and report to the legislature by November 1, 2018 recommending any changes to seasons and bag limits.
