Sign in to contribute

Greenville County anchors the South Carolina Upstate at the Blue Ridge foothills, with rugged terrain rising from the Piedmont into mountain hollows and forested ridges along the Saluda and Reedy river headwaters. Development and suburban sprawl have compressed huntable acreage considerably, but backcountry hunters find deer and turkey in the steep terrain and national forest lands of the northern reaches near Caesars Head. This is the most urbanized deer-hunting county in the state, and success hinges on access to private land or a willingness to hike into challenging public forest.

Terrain & elevation

Piedmont foothills transitioning to Blue Ridge mountain terrain; forested ridges, steep hollows, rock outcrops, and fast-moving trout streams in the north; urbanized and suburban lowlands toward the city of Greenville

Hunting pressure

High - the most populous county in South Carolina with limited huntable acreage; public land receives heavy pressure particularly during firearms seasons

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter license and tags through SCDNR; some WMA quota hunts apply in the Andrew Pickens District

Species & seasons

Turkey present in northern foothills and national forest terrain; mountain character limits overall deer density compared to Piedmont and Coastal Plain counties; trout fishing is a major outdoor draw for the mountain streams

Highlights

Mountain foothills whitetail hunting in dramatic Blue Ridge terrain; Andrew Pickens District backcountry access for hunters willing to put in the legwork
