Temporary changes proposed for N.C. hunting rule
In an online public hearing at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 13, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission will take public comment on a proposed temporary rule for hunting on game lands.
The rule was adopted by the Wildlife Commission in February but received objections. By law, the rule is subject to legislative review, which will not be completed before 2021-22 hunting season regulations are published Aug. 1. The temporary rule will stay in place until a permanent one can be agreed upon.
Proposed temporary amendments to Rule 15A NCAC 10D .0103 include all previously adopted changes, with the exception of the prohibition of horseback riding on William H. Silvers Game Land and the name change of Alcoa Game Land To Yadkin River Game Land.
