Give It A Shot – SCWF Squirrel Hunting Fundraiser

Day of the week: Saturday

February 22, 2025

Time: 6:30 am

$200 (for a team of 4)

Location: Hunt: Your own location; lunch & awards: Chapin

 

Registration deadline is Monday, February 17th, 2025.

 

What: A 4-person team squirrel hunting event held annually to raise money for youth and adults interested in learning how to hunt South Carolina’s small and large game species. Awards will be presented to the winning team.

 

When: Saturday, February 22, 2025. Hunt begins at legal shooting time, which is customarily 30 minutes before sunrise. Lunch, team tally deadline, and award presentation begins at 12pm in Chapin.

 

Where: Hunt locations: Any legal hunting property in South Carolina that will allow you to arrive at the lunch venue in Chapin by the team tally deadline at noon. Teams are responsible for securing their own properties to hunt. SCWF staff member Jay Keck can offer suggestions on public land.

 

How: Stalk, sit, or dogs, shotgun or rifle, is at the discretion of each team and team member. Team members can hunt together, in groups of two, or individually. Just hunt, have fun, and bring back some squirrels. Only one gun per team member: four guns max per team. Please note that “extra buddies” cannot bring guns, hunt, and give you their squirrels.

 

Cost: Registration is $200 per team. Non-hunting assistants (dog handler, photographer, etc.) may accompany the team and attend the social/lunch for $25 per person. 

 

Other things you need to know about this hunt:

  • Where you spend the night is your business and responsibility.
  • Where you hunt is your business and responsibility.
  • Proper utilization of the squirrels you harvest is your responsibility.
  • If you’re looking for a strict, highly managed, professionally-run, squirrel hunt with a bunch of rules and procedures, this is not the one for you.
  • If you’re looking to spend a great day outdoors with friends or family and raise money to support the next generation of hunters, this event is for you!
  • Team scores will be tallied based on the following criteria:
    • 1 point for each squirrel harvested by a team member
    • 1 additional point for each clean head shot
    • Tie-breaker – TBD and announced at lunch if necessary
    • Legal bag limits per person apply
  • What do you get out of this for $200 a team? Food, fellowship, possibly a trophy – but most of all you get to join a lot of folks who love the outdoors and love hunting, while supporting our mission to spread this love to others around our beautiful state.
  • $500 sponsorships are encouraged by individuals and companies interested in helping us expand our hunting education presence in SC. The sponsorship will include your 4-person hunting team, lunch, and recognition at the event and events webpage.
