NC GETS TO HUNT ON SUNDAYS!!!

[Joey Herring]

RALEIGH -- Tar Heel hunters would be able to bow hunt legally on Sundays next fall, under a measure approved today by the Wildlife Resources Commission.
The measure was among a series of notable changes to hunting and fishing regulations approved by the commission.
The most controversial changes include:


- Allowing bow hunting on Sundays on private land only. Bow hunting of migratory birds is still prohibited.
- Removing the daily bag limit for white-tailed deer.
- Shortening bow-only season by one week and opening the muzzleloader season a week earlier.
- Eliminating the winter wild turkey season.
- Allowing the use of crossbows, without a permit, anytime bow and arrows are legal weapons.
Several other controversial proposals were rejected:
- The commission did not establishing a uniform deer season across most of the state. The proposed changes would have been patterned on the current Eastern Deer Season.
- A "Youth Only" Wild Turkey Season was not replaced by a proposed "Friends and Family Afield" Turkey Season.
- The Spring Wild Turkey Season will not open the Monday after Youth Season, as proposed.
The proposals will go before the state Rules Review Commission in April before going into effect in July.
