North Carolina’s Wildlife Resources Commission is in the process of developing more public shooting ranges across the state. The first public range opened in 2006, but since 2012, six more have either opened or are in the planning stages. The Commission aims to create safe, readily available ranges for North Carolinians who partake in hunting and shooting sports.

Abstract:

North Carolina generally has the largest wintering East Coast population of tundra swans. Only five states have hunting seasons for the eastern population, and North Carolina usually has the largest harvest. The first tundra swan hunting season in the state took place in 1984-1985 and 867 birds were killed. The 2004-2005 season produced the second-lowest harvest on record with 1,745 birds taken. Wilson discusses this decline in the harvest.

Abstract:

Between 70,000 and 80,000 tundra swans winter in North Carolina, the highest population along the Atlantic Flyway. Unregulated hunting caused the population to drop in the 1930s, and restrictions were put on hunters. This restored the swans to today's levels. In 1984, a limited hunting season began. Only a limited number of hunting permits are issued, and hunters are allowed a bag limit of only one swan.
