It's a trifecta weekend for the Lowcountry outdoorsman, with three days in a row of sporting seasons set to commence. On Friday September 15, the S.C.
alligator season opened up. Then at noon on Friday the S.C.
shrimp-baiting season kicked in - and this annual sunset tradition lasts for 60 days. Then at 30-minutes before sunrise on Saturday, September 15 the early teal season began. Word on the street, and in the marshes, is that the blue-winged teal are LATE this year and there is very limited opportunity for opening day teal hunting. Finally the doe deer harvest season will allow big game hunters to have lots more items on the menu during the hunt. Doe tags are issued by the SCDNR, and with a declining deer herd, a few less doe tags are issued every year. However, the S.C. deer population is stable and at a
healthy level presently.
