About this unit

Sign in to contribute

Union County in the SC Upstate straddles the Broad River corridor, a largely rural and underutilized hunting destination with meaningful Sumter National Forest access and extensive private timber company ground. The relatively low human population and industrial history have left large tracts of mature forest that support healthy deer and turkey populations. Creek-bottom agriculture mixed with National Forest uplands makes for classic Upstate hunting.

Terrain & elevation

Piedmont ridges and creek valleys drained by the Broad River and its tributaries; mixed hardwood-pine forest dominates with scattered agricultural openings on river bottoms.

Hunting pressure

Low to moderate; one of the least-pressured Upstate counties due to limited public awareness and sparse population.

Tags & permits

OTC; Zone 1 regulations.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey populations healthy in National Forest drainages; some small-game hunting for squirrel; limited waterfowl on Broad River impoundments.

Highlights

Sumter National Forest in Union County is significantly less pressured than better-known Upstate counties; Broad River bottomlands concentrate deer during the rut.
