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.
