The NCWRC has released the season dates, bag limits and other regulations for the Old North State’s 2023-24 waterfowl seasons, along with the same information for doves and other webless migratory game birds, and for the extended falconry seasons.
Click here for a complete list of those dates, which will also be published in North Carolina’s 2023-24 Regulations Digest later this year.
Hunters will notice very little variations for the majority of season dates, but two limit increases are important and notable.
- The daily bag limit has been increased from two mallards (only one hen) to four mallards (only two hens).
- The daily bag limit for Canada geese or white-fronted geese in the state’s Northeast Canada Goose Hunt Zone has been increased from one to two.
