State Sets 1990-91 Dove Season The North Carolina Wildlife Rcsourccs Coinniis sion has set the mounting dove seasons and bag and jxvssession limits for 1990-91. The Commission adopted a 70 day dove season with a 12-bird daily bag limit and a possession limit of ?4 birds. The dove season dates arc Sept. 1 through Oct 6, Nov. 20-24 and Dec. 15 through Jan. I?. I"hc season al lows for hunting from half an hour before sunrise to sunset. Biologists repon an abundant population of doves this year, according to a news release from the state Wildlife Resources Commission. Commissioners also clarified the agency's baiting enforcement policy, according to the release, saying that wildlife officers will not inspect any field at the landholder's request to determine whether it is baited lor migratory game birds. Hunters should check fields before hunting and dis cuss with landowners to ensure the fields are legal to hunt, the release states. Officers will explain, when asked, the law that determines baiting, the release says. Under these state and federal rules, a court may convict a hunter of shcxiting over bait without having to prove the violator had knowledge that the field was tviiicd, the release says. Bailing is defined, by law, as "any area where shelled, shucked or unshuckcd corn, wheat or other grain salt or other feed whatsoever capable of luring, at tracting, or enticing birds is direciiy oi indirectly placed, exposed, deposited or scattered." State and federal regulations prohibit hunting over a "bailed" area for 10 days after the bait has been re moved, because doves habitually return to the same area after their fix>d supply no longer exists, the release stales. North Carolina also prohibits hunting within 3(H) yards of a baited area, according to the release. But, il says, dove hunting is allowed over fields where the crop was mowed, bush hogged or knocked down, as long as ii is not harvested and redistributed on the field. In the release, the Wildlife commission also re minds hunters that the minimum line is SI50 foi using improper firearms when hunting tnigratoiy birds, using live decoys or bait, hunting during closed seasons and exceeding the bag or jtosscssion limits. "I lie penalties call for a mandatory one vear suspension ol the viola tor's hunting license. The release says hunters can now purchase their 1990-91 hunting licenses. Before buying a 19^1-92 hunting license, it says, hunters must prove tliey have previously had a hunting license or must show they have passed a certified hunter safety course. 'Ilie Commission also set seasons for rails, gall inules and moorhens, woodcocks, common snipe and Canada geese, according to the release A 70-day season, from Sept. I through Nov. 9, was adopted for rails, moorhens and enllinnlcs A daily bag limit of 15 and a possession limit ol 30 was set for king and clapper rails, gallinulcs and moorhens. A daily bag limit and a possession limit ol 25 were set for soia and Virginia rails. North Carolina's woodcock season will run from Dcc. (?> through Jan. 19, with a daily lug limit ol three and a possession limit of six. The common snipe season is Nov. 14 through Feb. 28, with a daily bag limit of eight and a possession limit of U>. A special Canada goose season was set for Sept. 4 10, but only west of interstate 95. A special permit is required to hunt Canada geese during this season. s _^^SHALLC Mclean SHALLOTTE CLEANERS OPEN DAILY 7 AM TO 6 PM SATURDAY 8 AM TO I PM All.
