Abstract
The 2022 Public Alligator Hunting Season marked the fifteenth general alligator hunting season after a closure of nearly 40 years. However, alligators have been legally hunted in South Carolina since 1995 under the Private Lands Alligator Harvest Program. The Private Lands Program was established as a means for large landowners having significant amounts of alligator habitat to manage their alligator numbers on a sustained-yield basis and included quotas for specific size-class alligators. This year’s public hunt, utilizing a random computer drawing, was open to all applicants, including nonresidents, and was conducted on public and private lands (not enrolled in the Private Lands Program) from the Midlands to the coast.
