INTRODUCTION
The Permit Hunting Opportunities Program was established by the N.C. Wildlife Resources
Commission (referred to throughout this guide as the Commission) to provide permit hunting
opportunities across the state to licensed hunters. These permits allow for managed participa-tion
and provide unique hunting opportunities for special areas or species such as dove, deer,
bear, waterfowl, tundra swan, turkey, small game, and furbearer trapping. This program also
includes special opportunities for youth and persons with disabilities. The program offers both
quota and non-quota (point-of-sale) hunts.
This program is comprised of state-owned game lands, private lands, and federal lands. The
Commission administers the hunts on game lands and some private lands. It also administers
the permit application and draw process. Non-Commission program participants, such as the
U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service–National Wildlife Refuges (NWR), facilitate and administer the
hunts they have listed in this program. Hunts taking place on private or federal lands may
have separate rules and regulations pertaining to their hunts. For more information, refer to
the Refuge Area Reference Information section of this guide. These program participants
include: Currituck NWR, Mattamuskeet NWR, Pocosin Lakes NWR, Roanoke River NWR,
and Mecklenburg County Park & Recreation.
Quota hunt permit recipients are selected by drawing. There is a limit on the number of
hunters participating in quota hunts. The quotas are generally determined by estimating the
number of hunters the area can support and still provide quality hunting experiences. For
hunts without a quota, permits will be issued at the point-of-sale (POS). Unless otherwise
specified, there is a $5 nonrefundable admin istrative fee for each permit hunt application with
the exception of the disabled hunts. Disabled sportsmen will be charged a $10 nonrefundable
administrative fee that covers all disabled hunts applied for in one transaction.
Unless otherwise specified, a permit is required for all individuals wanting to hunt or trap on
permit-only lands, including youth, regardless of age.
Permits are nontransferable and allow hunting on specific dates or for species requiring strict
harvest and hunter participation information. All bag limits, possession limits and appropriate
reporting requirements as outlined in the North Carolina Inland Fishing, Hunting and Trapping
Regulations Digest apply.
The Commission will release leftover permits for sale within 10 days after the application
deadline. Leftover permits are those that are not awarded after the drawing has taken place.
A list of leftover permit hunt items will be displayed at www.ncwildlife.org and will include
instructions for obtaining a permit.
Late-season waterfowl hunt dates are not included in this publication because these dates are not
available prior to publication. This information will be available on Sept. 1 at www.ncwildlife.org
or by calling 888-248-6834. Some of the waterfowl hunts are scheduled to occur on impounded
wetlands. The Commission will make every effort to have water on these areas in time to attract
waterfowl. In some years, however, drought, unforeseen dike repairs, and other unexpected
events may result in the impoundments not being ready by the hunt date. No refunds can be
issued in these situations. Apply only if you are willing to accept this possibility.
IMPORTANT: This publication does not serve as a regulatory guide. Hunters and trappers should
always refer to the North Carolina Inland Fishing, Hunting and Trapping Regulations Digest for regula-tions
and local laws.

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE
Following is an overview on how to use this guide.
1. Hunts are organized by species, then region (Coastal, Piedmont, Mountain), then hunt
area (Game Land or Refuge). Determine what species you desire to hunt.
2. Select potential hunt area(s). Reference map located at the front of this guide.
3. Go to the appropriate species section and find the area that interests you.
4. Make note of the item number, hunt date(s) and choice(s) you wish to apply for. Refer to
the Game Land or Refuge Area Reference Information section of this guide for important
information specific to the area. Refer to the Regulations Digest for regulations and local
laws as they pertain to the hunt and hunt area.
5. Read the Application Procedures section for instructions on applying for permits. Follow
the instructions carefully.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Those applying for permit hunting opportunities may apply at a wildlife service agent (referred
to as agent), online at www.ncwildlife.org, or by telephone on or after July 1, unless otherwise
specified.
How to Apply at an Agent
1. Select the Permit Hunting Opportunity(s) you are interested in by reviewing this guide.
Write down the item number(s) and hunt choice(s) in order of preference. If applicable,
you may choose up to five choices per item number.
2. Take this information with you to the agent and be prepared to give your WRC Customer
ID Number (7 digits) that can be found on your current or expired license. You may apply
only once per hunt item number. Multiple applications for the same hunt item number
will be disqualified from the drawings. You will only be allowed one permit per hunt date.
Important: If you have ever had a license issued by the Commission, it is important that you attempt
to provide your WRC Customer ID number to the agent. Issuance of a new customer ID number, when
one already exists in the system, could appear to be a duplicate application and may disqualify your
application in the hunt drawing.
3. Applicants will be asked if they wish to “join an existing party.” Those applicants who do not
want to start a party hunt should answer “no.” This will allow them to proceed and provide
the selected hunt item/choices, which should be ranked in order of preference. Individuals
who wish to hunt together should apply as a “party.” An individual applying to an existing
party will be asked if he or she wishes to “join an existing party.” This hunter should answer
“yes” and give the agent the item number and “Party ID Number.” (This number is issued to
the individual who started the party hunt—it must be entered at the time of application).
Facts: The odds in favor of being selected as a party are no different than those of being selected as an
individual. Applying as a party ensures all applicants in the party will be selected or not selected.
Tip: If you establish a party hunt and want someone to join your party hunt application, you must provide
the additional hunter with your item number and Party ID Number shown on your receipt. Additional
hunters must use this number to join your party by visiting an agent or by calling 888-248-6834.
Never give your party number to more than the maximum number of hunters allowed for that hunt.
Party applications that do not meet the minimum or exceed the maximum party size will be disqualified
from the drawing. Minimum and maximum party sizes are listed under the hunt descriptions.
4. Before leaving the agent location, verify that all of the information on your receipt is correct,
including your address. An error at the application stage could put you in a drawing for
the wrong hunt or disqualify you entirely from the hunt opportunity(s). If you find an
error, it is important to have the agent void the transaction immediately and re-enter the
correct information. Once the application deadlines have passed and permits have been
issued, it is not possible to make corrections or changes. It is the hunter ’s responsibility to
ensure that all information entered by the agent is correct.
Important: Verify that your address is accurate before leaving the agent location. You will not receive the
permit if your address is incorrect.
In the event you experience problems when applying at the agent location, have the agent void your original
transaction immediately or contact the Commission at 888-248-6834, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Agents experiencing equipment problems during an application transaction should contact the
Commission’s Agent Help Line for assistance.

Apply Online or by Telephone
To apply for quota hunt permits or to purchase non-quota (point-of-sale) permits online,
go to www.ncwildlife.org. This option provides a quick and easy way to apply for or purchase
permitted hunting opportunities 24 hours a day.
To apply by telephone using a Visa or MasterCard, call 888-248-6834, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to
5 p.m. A Commission representative will help you with steps one through three.
GENERAL HUNTS
General hunts are offered on various areas across the state for dove, deer, bear, waterfowl,
tundra swan, turkey, small game, and furbearer trapping. Hunts are listed by species, region
and area in the Hunt Descriptions section of this guide. Maps of the areas can be found online
at www.ncwildlife.org. Rules and regulations can be found in the Regulations Digest.
YOUTH HUNTS
Various hunting opportunities are available for youth hunters, including several Commission-facilitated
youth hunts. All youth hunts, along with age and orientation requirements, are
shown as “Youth” in the Hunt Descriptions section of this guide. Commission-facilitated and
Refuge hunts will be indicated as such in the hunt description. General rules follow:
Youth Hunt (General)
• Youth must be less than 16 years of age on the day of the hunt.
• Hunter Safety Certification is not required for youth participating in adult-supervised
permit hunting opportunities.
• Each youth must be accompanied by a properly licensed adult. The adult is not allowed
to hunt and does not need a permit. The adult must maintain a proximity that enables
them to monitor the activities of, and communicate with, the young hunter at all times.
• An adult may supervise up to two youths on small game and waterfowl hunts and only
one youth on big game hunts.
Youth Hunt (Commission-Facilitated)
• Youth must be at least 12 (at time of application), but less than 16 years of age on the day
of the hunt.
• Hunter Safety Certification is required for youth participating in Commission-facilitated
permit hunting opportunities.
• Youth must be accompanied by a properly licensed adult. The adult is not allowed to hunt
and does not need a permit. The adult must remain within range to take immediate control
of hunting device.
• An adult may supervise up to two youths on waterfowl hunts and only one youth on big
game hunts.
• If orientation is required, the youth and adult must attend in order for the permit to be valid.
Youth Hunt (National Wildlife Refuge)
• Youth must be less than 16 years of age on the day of the hunt.
• Hunter Safety Certification is required for youth participating in refuge permit hunting
opportunities.
• Youth must be accompanied by a properly licensed adult at least 21 years of age. The adult
is not allowed to hunt and does not need a permit. The adult must remain within sight and
easy voice contact of the young hunter at all times.
4
YOUTH & ADULT HUNTS
Youth & Adult hunts allow both an adult and youth to hunt together as a party. Youth & Adult
hunts, along with youth age requirements, are shown as “Youth & Adult” in the Hunt Descrip-tions
section of this guide. General rules are as follows:
• Youth must be less than 16 years of age on the day of the hunt.
• Unless otherwise stated, Hunter Safety Certification is not required for youth participating
in youth and adult permit hunting opportunities.
• Both the youth and properly licensed adult must apply for hunts as a party (Refer to
Application Procedures). Applicants who apply separately (not as a party) will not be
eligible for the draw.
• Both the youth and adult may hunt if awarded permits. The adult must maintain a proxim-ity
that enables them to monitor the activities of, and communicate with, the young hunter
at all times.
DISABLED SPORTSMAN HUNTS
The Commission has developed a three-tier hunting system for disabled hunters. This tier
system is designed to offer a variety of hunting levels for disabled hunters.
Tier I hunts are those on game lands where areas and access have been designated for disabled
hunters. These hunts are not a part of the Permit Hunting Opportunities Program and do not
require a special hunt permit, but may require a Disabled Access Permit as outlined in the
Regulations Digest. Refer to the Regulations Digest for information regarding regulations and
hunting/game land license requirements.
Tier II hunts are those on game lands and refuges that are included in the Permit Hunting
Opportunities Program and allow managed participation for disabled hunters and their
companion in order to provide unique hunting opportunities. A permit is required for these
hunts. Some may have designated blinds. Refer to the Application Procedures section for more
information on applying for permits.
Tier III hunts are Commission-facilitated and assisted hunts located on a game land within
each region. These hunts offer managed participation for disabled hunters and their
companion in areas where blinds are provided and offer a unique hunting opportunity.
A permit and orientation is required for these hunts. Tier III hunts are listed separately
from the Tier II hunts in the Hunt Descriptions section of this guide.
In order to qualify for a disabled hunt permit, you must possess one of the following:
A Disabled Veteran or Totally Disabled License or a Disabled Sportsman Hunt Certification.
The Disabled Sportsman Hunt Certification is not a license; therefore, a valid hunting license,
in addition to the hunt permit, is required when participating in permit hunt opportunities.
Applicants will be charged a $10 nonrefundable administrative fee that covers all disabled
hunts applied for in one transaction. General rules follow:
• Unless otherwise stated, permit holders may bring a companion to assist and hunt.
The companion must carry the companion card received with the permit and must hunt
alongside the permit holder at all times. There is no fee or application required for the
companion. Companions may not apply for disabled hunts individually.
• On multiple day hunts, the companion may be different for each hunt day as long as they
have the companion card.
• If orientation is required, the disabled hunter must attend in order for the permit to
be valid.
• Additional information regarding companions and access can be found in the Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ) section of this guide.
AREA INFORMATION/MAPS
The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section of this guide is broken down by region and
organized alphabetically by game land. A separate section follows with similar information
regarding National Wildlife Refuges. For maps of the areas, visit www.ncwildlife.org or call
