Abstract
Act 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. SCDNR accomplished this during 2015-2018 by compiling turkey harvest and hunter effort data, turkey recruitment data, and by conducting a major 4 year field study to determine the timing of gobbling activity and nesting chronology.
