Proper disposal of Deer Remains is a Rule of Good Hunting

The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) reminders hunters that the proper disposal of deer remains is an important aspect of hunting, particularly in maintaining the hunter’s image. Hunters should realize that improperly disposing of deer remains is not only illegal but presents a negative public image. It provides a legitimate point of criticism that can be used by people who oppose hunting. Hunters should also remember not to display harvested game where it might offend non-hunting members of the public. When transporting a deer in the back of a truck or on top of a vehicle, hunters should wrap a tarp or other covering material around the animal. This is a simple, considerate step that may prevent a non-hunter from becoming an anti-hunter. Read more at www.dnr.sc.gov/news/2018/oct/oct4_deer.html.
