DEER · 20262026

State game icon: White-tailed deer — illustration generated to our brief, not regulation data (this compilation covers deer). The bars along the base are this record’s derived season windows.

This record does not carry 3 regulations the state has. The declarations below are the record's own words.

cross-references — These are the PRIVATE LANDS seasons and methods only. Every Wildlife Management Area has its own seasons …

kind: cross-references — description: **These are the PRIVATE LANDS seasons and methods only.** Every Wildlife Management Area has its own seasons, methods and limits, printed on pp.97-106 (folios 95-104) of this guide and not carried here — Game Zone 1 WMAs alone run a Mountain Hunt Unit with dates unlike anything on these pages. **The LIMITS on these rows do reach public land, and an earlier version of this gap said the opposite.** p.62 prints "Limits listed include deer taken on private & WMA lands." — carried here as a row and on every limit row as `counts_deer_taken_on_wma` — so a deer taken on a WMA counts against the antlered and antlerless totals published here. What a hunter on public land cannot take from these rows is the SEASON DATES and the METHODS: those are each WMA's own.

cross-references — Rules on OTHER pages that bind these rows and are not carried: deer tag issue and validation, and how …

kind: cross-references — description: Rules on OTHER pages that bind these rows and are not carried: deer tag issue and validation, and how Individual Antlerless Deer Tags are obtained, pp.59-60 (folios 57-58); the Deer Quota Program itself — these rows publish only its EXEMPTION from the printed limits — p.60 (folio 58); deer processor requirements, p.60 (folio 58), which is what "Processors see page 58" points at; and **mandatory big-game harvest reporting through SC Game Check, p.64 (folio 62)**, which binds every deer on every row here and is printed on the TURKEY page immediately after this section.

map — Game Zones, p.62 (40.9% image, 17.5% curve) — The map is the only place the guide says which county is in which Game Zone, and every season and every limit …

kind: map — Game Zones, p.62 (40.9% image, 17.5% curve) — description: **The map is the only place the guide says which county is in which Game Zone**, and every season and every limit published here is keyed to a Game Zone. Its 46 county names and its four zone numerals DO reach the text layer and are classified as map labels; the colour that assigns a county to a zone does not reach it at all. So these rows cannot be applied to a place from this compilation alone.

Check this page against the source

Do not take our word for it. The document every row on this page was read out of is one tap away, and checking us against it is exactly what the citation, the sha256 and the source lines under each row are for.

Open the source document → https://www.dnr.sc.gov/regs/pdf/Regs2627.pdf#page=62

If that document says something this page does not, the document is the regulation and this page is wrong. The copy we read is the one whose sha256 is above; if the publisher has replaced the file since 2026-08-08, yours will not match ours, and that difference is the thing worth knowing.

about this record

Which way this record can be wrong, if it is wrong

Error direction — If this record is wrong, it is most likely wrong toward saying you MAY do something you may not.

That is the direction that ends in a citation, or in a hunter on ground the state has closed. Read the signals below before you use any row on this page.

Derived by rule from this record's own declared gaps, its own integrity fields and its own rows. It is not a score and there is no confidence number: the counts below count signals, nothing more.

2 over-permissive · 4 undeterminable · 0 under-permissive · 5 declared gap(s), 3 of which the record says carry regulation · 47 row(s) scanned

4 signal(s), most dangerous first. The evidence lines below are the rule's own excerpts, cut at 220 characters; every gap is printed in full and verbatim under what this record does not carry.

overOVER: the gap names a restriction, requirement, closure or supersession the record does not carry [overriding_regime='has its own seasons']; a row read without it is broader than the regulation

known_gaps[0]: **These are the PRIVATE LANDS seasons and methods only.** Every Wildlife Management Area has its own seasons, methods and limits, printed on pp.97-106 (folios 95-104) of this guide and not carried here — Game Zone 1 WMA…

overOVER: a restriction/requirement this record does not carry [obligation='requirement', limit_or_quota='Quota', tag_check_report='harvest report']; the gap ALSO names an opportunity it does not carry [extra_allowance='EXEMPTION from the printed limits'], so it errs both ways and the dangerous direction is reported

known_gaps[1]: Rules on OTHER pages that bind these rows and are not carried: deer tag issue and validation, and how Individual Antlerless Deer Tags are obtained, pp.59-60 (folios 57-58); the Deer Quota Program itself — these rows pub…

unknowncannot be determined: the gap carries regulation but its description names neither a restriction nor an opportunity in terms this rule can read (kind='map — Game Zones, p.62 (40.9% image, 17.5% curve)'). Boundary, map and definition gaps land here and belong here — not knowing which unit you are in cuts both ways

known_gaps[2]: **The map is the only place the guide says which county is in which Game Zone**, and every season and every limit published here is keyed to a Game Zone. Its 46 county names and its four zone numerals DO reach the text …

unknown1 page boundary/boundaries beside the cited range were never inspected. A table that continues past a citation loses whole rows — the missing rows could be further seasons (under) or the restrictions on the ones published (over), and this is the check five states went OFFLINE for skipping.

p61 (beside cited p62) — the uncited neighbour draws none; the cited page does — the safest case, the neighbour is probably prose…
what this rule cannot see
  • It reads this record's OWN prose. A restriction nobody declared is invisible to it — and an undeclared restriction is what takes a state offline.
  • It takes each gap's carries_regulation flag at face value. A gap mis-declared as non-regulatory is a silent miss.
  • It cannot weigh. One missing county list and fourteen missing pages of special-permit hunts each score once. There is no severity here, and that is why no score is shown.
  • It classifies a whole gap, never a row. A gap that qualifies four rows and a gap that qualifies all of them read identically.

Across the published records the record-level answer is almost always over. That is a statement about how regulation is written — what is missing from a compilation is usually a restriction — not a ranking of states.

Record integrity — citation, document hash, current-through

Record integrity

Current through — the document this record was read from, and nothing later than it:

South Carolina Hunting & Fishing Laws and Regulations Guide, August 14, 2026 - August 14, 2027, pp.62-63 (folios 60-61), "Deer Rules & Regulations — Deer Seasons on Private Lands"

sha256 7d9971db4110613e1d093135d718052ddab822af052de4e995a306b7cf169709

The document is those bytes. A URL is a name; if the publisher replaces the file behind it, this hash stops matching and the mismatch is the finding.

We fetched it on 2026-08-08. That is our retrieval date, not a publication date. This record carries no date on which its publisher issued, adopted, amended or last revised that document, so this page states none. Any effective, issue or adoption date the document states of itself is inside the citation above, in the publisher’s own words — nothing here lifts it out or restates it as a fact of ours.

The publisher is named inside that citation, in the publisher’s own words. This record carries no publisher field of its own, so nothing here names one separately.

The record states its own regulation year as 2026. That is the record’s field, not a currency claim: a record may state a year older than the day we fetched it, and where it does, it says so here.

**These are the PRIVATE LANDS seasons and methods only.** Every Wildlife Management Area has its own seasons, methods and limits, printed on pp.97-106 (folios 95-104) of this guide and not carried here — Game Zone 1 WMAs alone run a Mountain Hunt Unit with dates unlike anything on these pages. **The LIMITS on these rows do reach public land, and an earlier version of this gap said the opposite.** p.62 prints "Limits listed include deer taken on private & WMA lands." — carried here as a row and on every limit row as `counts_deer_taken_on_wma` — so a deer taken on a WMA counts against the antlered and antlerless totals published here. What a hunter on public land cannot take from these rows is the SEASON DATES and the METHODS: those are each WMA's own.

Who does have it

Not us. South Carolina’s agency publishes the document this record was read from, and that document — not this page — is where the material above has to be chased:

https://www.dnr.sc.gov/regs/pdf/Regs2627.pdf#page=62

Where the description above names some other document, register, office or telephone number, that naming is the record’s own and is printed in full above. Nothing here has followed it up for you, and nothing here has re-typed it.

cross-references

Rules on OTHER pages that bind these rows and are not carried: deer tag issue and validation, and how Individual Antlerless Deer Tags are obtained, pp.59-60 (folios 57-58); the Deer Quota Program itself — these rows publish only its EXEMPTION from the printed limits — p.60 (folio 58); deer processor requirements, p.60 (folio 58), which is what "Processors see page 58" points at; and **mandatory big-game harvest reporting through SC Game Check, p.64 (folio 62)**, which binds every deer on every row here and is printed on the TURKEY page immediately after this section.

map — Game Zones, p.62 (40.9% image, 17.5% curve)

**The map is the only place the guide says which county is in which Game Zone**, and every season and every limit published here is keyed to a Game Zone. Its 46 county names and its four zone numerals DO reach the text layer and are classified as map labels; the colour that assigns a county to a zone does not reach it at all. So these rows cannot be applied to a place from this compilation alone.

2 further gap(s) the record says carry no regulation

declared by the record, which states these carry no regulation. They are published because the reason a thing was not read is part of the evidence.

figure — advertising, p.62 (part of the 40.9% image measured above)

The lower half of p.62 is a full-width eRegulations advertisement — photograph, logos and the words "With you wherever you go. The most up-to-date hunting regulations online!" It states no rule.

derived family: figure/diagram/chart, photograph/graphic/advertisement

figure — advertising, p.63 (53.9% image, 29.3% curve)

Three advertisements around the four zone boxes: HD Processing with its sponsor logos, Firekettles.com, and West Texas Feeder Supply. **More than half of the page carrying South Carolina's deer seasons is advertising**, which is why the zone boxes are read by coordinate and the rest is ruled out by region rather than swept. None of it states a rule; the deer-processor RULE is on p.62 and p.60, not in the HD Processing advertisement.

Coverage

100.0% of p.62 as SENTENCES of the ten rule bullets and of the Statewide Youth Day box, plus its map labels and page furniture as visual rows; p.63 as coordinate-clustered runs of which the four zone boxes are one region and three advertisements are the rest

derived: this percentage is over the units named above, on the pages this record cites. It is not a percentage of the state's regulation. The gaps above are what a full percentage would have to count and cannot.

p61 (beside cited p62) — the uncited neighbour draws none; the cited page does — the safest case, the neighbour is probably prose, but prose is how Utah lost nine pages, so the continuation check cannot fire. NOT a clean result: it was never inspected.

What this is, and what it is not

What this is, and what it is not

The Booklet is not the law and is not an official edition of any state’s regulations: no state agency writes, reviews, publishes or approves it, and where a page here differs from the agency document it cites, the agency document is the regulation and this page is wrong.

It is an editorial compilation of state agency regulation documents: every row is carried verbatim out of one named document, cited by title, identified by the sha256 of the exact bytes we read, and printed beside the source lines it was read from.
