The S.C. Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) is accepting applications for the public alligator lottery through June 15th at 5:00 pm.
A $10 nonrefundable application fee is required to apply. A randomized computer drawing based on a preference point system will determine the selection of hunters. This year’s public alligator season will begin at 12 p.m. (noon) on Sept. 10th and run until 12 p.m. (noon) on Oct. 8th.
The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on June 15th. Tag fees, if selected, are $100. Additional fees apply to nonresident hunters. Applicants will be notified by email of selection status.
Applicants can only apply and pay fees online or at one of the walk-up counters at a DNR Regional Office in Clemson, Florence, Columbia, Aynor, or Charleston.
