Maybe i miss understood, and please explain if I did, but Sunday was never counted against our season length or as a hunting day. We got 60 days to hunt, which did not include sundays in that count, as we could not hunt in them. Am I missing something here?
Compensatory days will now be allowed for waterfowl and webless species (doves, woodcock, rails and snipe). Previously, due to federal guidelines, North Carolina was required to count Sundays as a hunting day for webless species even though there are state prohibitions for hunting all migratory game birds on Sunday. Proposed season dates for these species will now reflect the availability of these compensatory days for all migratory birds.
So you’re telling me that all those people that whined about Sunday hunting shortening the season were wrong?
I thought they only counted hunting days...
If they were whining about Doves and other webless species, not being able to hunt on Sunday was shortening their season because those days were counted as hunting days.
Waterfowl already had compensatory days added to the season.
Sunday hunting in regards to migratory birds and season length isnt really an issue bc the season frame work is set Federally. You'll get the same number of days to hunt and cant hunt past set dates.
Better buy a out of state license.I can’t wait to kill ducks on Sunday’s!

Wildlifer, thanks for clearly explaining this to everyone. I think there has been at least a 2 year halt on Sunday duck hunting. May not be over yet.
