Early Migratory Bird Season and Bag Limit is Set
July 21, 2009
NCWRC has announced the upcoming early season as well as the web less season. Goose hunters should be pleased because the bag limit has been raised to 15 a day for the month of September. This is an effort to control our sky rocketing residential goose population that are causing significant problems across the state. Unfortunately these birds have become adapt to staying in areas like parks and golf courses where they can’t be hunted.
The 2009-10 seasons for webless migratory game birds and waterfowl early seasons are:
• Dove: Sept. 5 – Oct 10; Nov. 23 – Nov. 28; and Dec. 19 – Jan. 15; daily bag of 15 and possession limit of 30

• Woodcock: Jan 1 – Jan. 30; daily bag of 3 and possession limit of 6
• Common snipe: Nov. 13 – Feb. 27; daily bag of 8 and possession limit of 16
