Abstract:
One of the most important waterfowl species in the state is the black duck. This duck is a fine game bird and is a challenge to hunters because of his wary manner and elusive habits. In the 1960-1961 hunting season, it made up 13.7 percent of the statewide duck bag. The black duck is the largest of the puddle ducks and is a fine eating bird.

Abstract:
Every fall, hordes of waterfowl make their way down south, finding resting spots in North Carolina's sounds and lakes. However, severe drought in Canadian breeding grounds resulted in lesser populations. This with the higher cost of Federal duck stamps resulted in fewer waterfowl hunters for the season. This led to a 21 percent decrease in the numbers of waterfowl harvested. But when contrasted with other states, North Carolina more than gets its share.
