They are Hill Farm Game Landin Stokes County, Rendezvous Mountain State Forest in Wilkes County, Voice of America Game Land inBeaufort County,and William H. Silver Game Land in Haywood County. Refer to the Game Lands Sectionstarting on page 69 for more information.

    HUNTING

    l Waterfowl and webless migratory game bird season dates and bag limits have been setand are printed
    in this Digest. Refer to page 60 for season dates and bag limits.
    l All big game harvests must be reported either by phone at 800-446-8663, online at ncwildlife.org, or
    at a participating Wildlife Service Agent location.The Commission no longer offers big game harvest

    They also didn't mention in the summary of opening up Sunday hunting...that's a big deal to a lot of folks.

    The additional 3 weeks is clutch for me. That will be a great time to hunt here.

    3rd season is antlered only. I guess they are looking for post rut recruitment...?

    I'm looking at you neck of the words for second (archery) season as deer season overlapped with bear.

    I'm good with buck only at that time. Anything is better than nothing. By that time I should be able to help you out more, as my schedule should be slowing down.
