Abstract:

There are several reasons why hunters and fishermen need game lands licenses, whereas other recreationists do not. According to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, funds collected from game lands licenses are used only for projects which primarily benefit sportsmen. Also, the Commission has no statutory authority to regulate outdoor sports not related to wildlife with the exception of boating.
