Hunters are responsible for knowing and abiding by all hunting regulations and knowing reserve boundaries.
Hunters are required to have a valid state hunting license and a valid permit issued by the commission.
Obtain your state hunting license from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, which must be obtained before applying for a permit to hunt for east Carrot Island. Permits are not required for Middle Marsh.
