Proposed Changes to Wildlife Regulations for Next Year
The North Carolina Wildlife Commission has released the proposed changes to be discussed at the public meetings next month. I have quickly read them and the big changes as I read it are; two buck limit statewide (Yes about time) and extend the squirrel season to the end of February (Makes sense to me). There are numerous other changes but those seem to be significant. The sleeper change if I was picking one is the proposal to allow Falconry Hunting on Sunday. This is a curious proposal and it will be interesting to see if those adamantly opposed to hunting on Sunday will rally around this issue.
H12. Allow falconry on Sundays.
Justification: The Commission has the legal authority to allow falconry on
Sundays, and there is no biological reason to maintain the current prohibition.
The reason this is so interesting is that the same legal authority that allows them to open falconry would also allow them to open bow hunting. I bet they won’t go there at this point 
This is your opportunity to have a say so I hope you get out to one of the public meetings.

Having just spent my first full hunting season in NC, I agree with the 2 buck limit state-wide.
