HUNTING
REGULATIONS
FOR 1963-1964
Raleigh Tar Heel hunters
will have a gTeatly simplified
squirrel season this fall. At a meet
ing of the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission held in Ra
leigh last week. 99 counties were
included in a uniform squirrel sea
son, beginning October 15 and end
ing January 1. One Dare County
township, Atlantic, and part of an
other that part of Nags Head
Township east of Roanoke Sound
will have a shorter season, last
ing from December 2 until Janu
ary 15.
The decision for the state-wide
season was based on research which
showed that Tar Heel squirrels
produce twice a year, usually i n
March and July. It was also found
that very few of the March broods,
are around for the gun season in
the fall, while the July crop furn
ishes most of the fall hunting. All
across the state, most of the July
squirrels are weaned by the mid
dle of October. Biologists believe
that since the nimrod's gun is only
one of the several factors in
squirrel mortality, the hunting
should begin when the late crop
has left the nest. This will give
the sportsman more hunting that
previously has been lost because
of food shortages, inclement wea
ther, and predators.
Hunting regulations, such a s
the new squirrel season, are de
cided upon only after a series o f
nine public hearings across t h e
state. At these hearings, the Com
mission presents its proposals,
based on sound biological princi
ples and careful research. Hunters,
landowners, and other interested
parties are invited to attend these
hearings, discuss these proposals
and express their own opinions.
Having aired their proposals, and
heard the reaction of hunters a
cross the state, the Commission
assembles in Raliegh with the staff
of Clyde P. Patton, Executive Di
rector of the Commission, and
sets regulations designed to give
hunters the best possible harvest
and assure a supply of game foi
the future.
Another change is the wild tur
key season. Still gobblers only,
but running from January 2 to
February 16, this new arrange
ment, though shorter, gives the
turkey hunter a better chance t o
enjoy his sport with less of his
favorite game being taken by the
relatively non-specialized squirrel
and deer hunters. This group, i n
proir years, has been "incidental
turkey hunters", bagging a good
many turkeys when they were out
looking for their game. But with
both deer and squirrel hunting
ending January 1, there should be
very little "woods" hunting after
this date except by turkey hunter. s
And with a $100 fine for killing n
turkey out of season (passed by
the 1963 Legislature), a fellow will
think twice about shooting at a
"movement in the bushes" before
January 2.
The quail and rabbit season will
the
tne

action
the c
Merc
open on November 23 and close
February 16. While closely approx
imating the opening date for '82,
it falls on the Saturday before
Thanksgiving. Perhaps our noble
nhnrodo will have burned off some
of their lust for the smell of gun
powder by Thanksgiving, and the
family get-to gether and the tra
ditional Thanksgiving meal can go
off on schedule.
Bow hunters will again be permit
ted to hunt during the 20 days im
mediately preceding the open sea
son for a particular game species.
However, where the deer season
opens on November 18, the 20-day
bow season will begin on October
18 and close November 9. Before
we all go Robin Hood, let's remem
ber that a bow must have a rated
pull of at least 46 pounds. Arrows,
except the blunt head type used
for small game and birds, must
have a minimum broadhead width
of at least inch.
Since county laws govern some
of hunting and trapping, it would
be impossible to cover the whole
list of regulations in this limited
space. Better get a copy of the
new regulations they'll be off the
press soon. Your local hunting and
fishing license dealer will have a
supply. Get one and read it. You'll
be glad you did.
