Attention Wayne County Hunters and Fisherman North Carolina Wildlife License Information

Several changes to North Carolina’s hunting, inland fishing and trapping licenses went into effect August 1. Changes include: a new bear mgmt. e-stamp; increased fees for certain short-term, annual and nonresident lifetime licenses; new eligibility requirements for senior licenses; and elimination of county licenses.

Also on August 1, waterfowl hunters in North Carolina now have the

option of purchasing a federal duck stamp electronically. The new “Duck E-Stamp,” which goes into effect on Aug. 1, allows the Wildlife Commission to sell stamps electronically through its wildlife service agents, online, and by phone, for $16 plus a $2 transaction fee. Hunters who purchase a duck e-stamp will receive electronic authorization immediately and the actual stamp by mail within 45 days of purchase.
