OutdoorHub 08.15.13
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is extending the deadline to register for a special Labor Day youth dove hunting opportunity at Mountain Island Educational State Forest until Aug. 21, to make available a limited number of unsold permits.
The special hunt opportunity requires a minimum of two per party, which has to consist of at least one youth, younger than 16, and one properly licensed adult. Permits can only be purchased by phone at 888-248-6834, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
“This is a special opportunity because the dove hunt is being held in the Charlotte area where these types of hunts are very limited,” said BB Gillen, the Wildlife Commission’s outdoor skills coordinator. “With all of the development and urban sprawl in that area, there are not a whole lot of hunting opportunities around Charlotte. We hope people will take advantage of this opportunity.”
