QUESTION: Can you pro-
vide the season dates and bag
limits for this fall’s waterfowl
hunting season? I’m aware that
it is always late in the summer
before the seasons are set, but I
haven’t seen them published .
anywhere yet.

ANSWER: This fall’s water-
fowl hunting season, the dates of
which have just recently been
set, will be somewhat similar to
last year’s. The first portion of
the three-way split season for
ducks opens October 4-6, and
will again allow sportsmen to
hunt locally reared wood ducks
before their mid-October
southward migration, and early
migrating blue-winged and
green-winged teal. The second
short portion of the season,
November 22-24, allows for
traditional Thanksgiving
holidays hunting. The final por-
tion, which makes up the bulk of
the season, opens on December
7th and runs through January
19-with the exception of special
black duck and canvasbacks
seasons. The daily bag limit is
five ducks again this year. That
limit may include one black duck
(during the restricted season),
two wood ducks, two redheads,
or here in western North
Carolina, one canvasback. An
exception is that on October 4, 5
and 6 the entire five bird limit
may consist of wood ducks.
The shortened black duck
season, December 27 through
January 19, is designed to reduce
the hunter take of black ducks
by 25 percent. The black duck
population is in trouble due to
loss of habitat, acid rain,
hybridization with mallards and
other factors, including hunting
pressure.
There is a special coastal can-
vasback season again this year. It
runs from January 9-19 and is
restricted to the same specified
area of Pamlico Sound as last
year. During that season and in
that area the bag limit is four
birds per day, not more than one
of which may be a hen, as part of
the regular daily bag limit of
"ducks. A free permit is required
to hunt canvasback during this
special season. It may be obtain-
ed by writing the N.C. Wildlife
Resources Commission, Can-
vasback, 512 N. Salisbury St.,
Raleigh, N.C. 27611.
The sea duck season is essen-
tially the same as last year, open-
ing on October 5th and running
Patriots Lose Opener,
Host Burns Thursday
Kings Mountain Junior
High’s footballers will try to
shake off an opening season loss
to a powerful Crest team and get
on the winning track Thursday
against Burns. Game time is 5
p.m. at Kings Mountain’s John
Gamble Stadium.
Crest, which has been
undefeated for over three years
in Western N.C. Junior High
Athletic Association competi-
tion, jumped out front early and
never let up.
Kings Mountain scored both
of its touchdowns in the fourth
quarter, one on an eight-yard
run by Martin Spencer and the
other on a two-yard run by Mon-
ty Deaton. Deaton’s TD was set
_.up by a long run off a swing pass
by Anthony Hillman.
“Crest took control of the
game early and started beating
us on deep passes,” noted KM
Coach John Bumgardner.
KM Women
“Were confident that we can
make some adjustments and do a
lot better this week.”
Thursday’s game will be the
season’s opener for Burns, which
is also rated a strong contender
for the league title.
“We have a lot of work on our
defense and passing game,” said
Bumgardner. “We have a good
ballclub and I think if we can put
things together defensively, we'll
be in good shape.
“Last week, it seemed we were
struck with a lot of opening
game jitters,” he continued. “But
now we have a game under our
belts and that should help us.”
JAYVEES
Kings Mounain’s Jayvees also
fell to Crest, losing 48-6 in a
game played Wednesday after-
noon. The jayvees were schedul-
ed to host Burns Wednesday
afternoon.

daily bag limit of four birds.
That’s a change from last year,
reflecting a longer season and
more liberal bag limit.
Another change for this year
is a special permit-only hunt for
tundra swans. The season was
adopted in response to problems
with crop depredation, competi-
tion with other waterfowl, and
an increase in the swan popula-
tion. The season will run from
November 3 through January
31, and each permittee will be
allowed to harvest one tundra ,
swan per season. Permits will be
chosen through a random draw-
ing, and a total of 1,000 permits
will be issued. Applicants should
write to the N.C. Wildlife
Resources Commission, Swan
Permits, 512 N. Salisbury St.,
Raleigh, N.C. 27611. Each appli-
cant number. Applications must
be received by October 1.
Legal shooting hours for
waterfowl hunting begin at one-
half hour before sunrise and end
at sunset. In addition to a North
Carolina hunting license, water-
fowl hunters must also have a
federal migratory bird stamp.
Those wishing to contribute to
waterfowl managment and
research in North Carolina can
purchase one of the voluntary
North Carolina waterfowl
stamps. Steel shot is required for
the special hunts on most Na-
tional Widlife Refugees in North
Carolina. Additional informa-
tion on waterfowl hunting may
be obtained by calling the
Wildlife Resources
Commission’s toll-free number in
Raleigh. That number,

licenses and the North Carolina
