Additional opportunities for lottery hunt applicants

Applicants for both the Waterfowl Multi-Site and Youth Multi-Site Lottery Hunts also have the ability to opt-in for second-chance waterfowl hunting opportunities being offered by private landowners.

There is no additional cost to the applicant, and SCDNR preference points are not affected by any second-chance draw hunt opportunity offered by the South Carolina Wildlife Partnership or the Pintail Partners (for youth hunters).

You must apply for the SCDNR waterfowl lottery hunt to participate in any second-chance hunt opportunity and complete the opt-in form so that your information can be sent for the second-chance drawing. Selecting to purchase a preference point only will not enter you into the second-chance hunt.

To learn more about South Carolina Wildlife Partnership and how you may help, visit the SCWP website, www.sc-wp.org.
