Man also charged with possessing additional tags
On April 7, 2025, SCDNR officers LCPL Ginn and PFC Sutton checked on a location in Anderson County that was documented for turkey bait. After arriving at the scene, they noticed an open gate, along with a parked vehicle on the property. They heard a gunshot, then contacted a hunter shortly thereafter.
The hunter had killed a turkey over that baited area, and he was also in possession of too many tags.
The officers seized the turkey as evidence and charged the man with taking a wild turkey over a baited area, and for being in possession of additional tags.
“Baiting cases reflect a clear disregard for state hunting laws, and provide hunters with an unfair advantage,” said SCDNR. “We’re grateful for our officers’ continued commitment to protecting South Carolina’s natural resources.”
The case is currently pending.
