The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) has released the 2024-2025 dove season schedule. The season will open on September 1, 2024, and close on October 14, 2024, and reopen on December 13, 2024, and close on January 15, 2025. The daily bag limit is 15 doves, and the possession limit is 45 doves.
Dove hunting is a popular sport in South Carolina, and the SCDNR’s dove season schedule provides hunters with ample opportunity to pursue this game bird. In addition to providing recreational opportunities, dove hunting also helps to control the dove population, which can damage crops and spread disease.
