South Carolina Lawmakers to Consider Hunter Recruitment Bill This Week
Join NSSF in Supporting House Bill 3800

This week, the South Carolina House of Representatives will likely consider hunter-recruitment legislation, House Bill 3800. Sponsored by state Rep. Bobby Cox and strongly supported by NSSF, H 3800 seeks to expand on South Carolina’s already established and successful apprentice hunting license program. Currently, an apprentice hunting license can be purchased once, but as amended in committee, H 3800 would remove the limitation on how many times an apprentice hunter could purchase the license. Such apprentice licenses allow new hunters a “try-before-you-buy” approach and enable them to get in the field under the direct supervision of an experienced mentor. The goal of this program is to have the apprentice hunter complete a hunter education course in the future so that they may hunt on their own.
