Tap anywhere on the map to drop a pin, or search an address above — the pin's unit, its land and a box to name and save it appear straight underneath. Unit boundaries come from each state's own GIS layer, or the Census county lines where a state's units are its counties. Zoomed out, the whole country is drawn from one simplified map; zoom in and each state's full-detail lines take over. Near a unit line, confirm against the official boundary description.

South Carolina deer seasons, 2026-27

South Carolina’s 2026-27 deer seasons run August 8, 2026 to January 2, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the game zone your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the game zone off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
