permit conditions. Even if not expressly required to do so, you should
always contact the manager of that particular state land unit or with
the owner of private land before your arrival. You want to be aware of
the hunting seasons, and, of course want to be sure that your
activities will not interfere with the activities of that park,
wildlife management area, or other state land unit, and that your
activities will not adversely affect public use of the land or with the
activities of private landowners.
Policies
15A NCAC 10B .0119 WILDLIFE COLLECTORS
(a) Collection Licenses. The Executive Director is
authorized to license qualified individuals to take or collect any
species of wildlife resources except that endangered, threatened and
special concern species may not be taken or collected except under a
special permit issued by the Executive Director for research
purposes. This Rule shall not prohibit an individual from killing
an endangered, threatened, or special concern species in defense of his
own life or the lives of others without a permit. Individuals who
annually collect less than five reptiles or less than 25 amphibians
that are not on the endangered, threatened or special concern lists are
exempted from this license requirement. Such license shall be
issued upon payment of a fee in accordance with the General Statutes,
except that licenses shall be issued to representatives of educational
or scientific institutions or of governmental agencies without
charge. Such license shall be used in lieu of any other hunting
or trapping license required by law and shall authorize possession and
transportation of the wildlife incidental to the authorized taking,
except that it shall not authorize the taking, possession or
transportation of any species of wildlife in violation of federal laws
or regulations.
(b) Limits on collection. Individuals shall collect no more than
10 turtles from the family Chelydridae (snapping turtles) per day and
no more than 100 per calendar year. Individuals shall collect no
more than 10 turtles from the family Kinosternidae (mud and musk
turtles) per day and no more than 100 per calendar year.
(c) Qualifications of Licensees. In addition to
representatives of educational and scientific institutions and
governmental agencies the collection license may be issued to any
individual for any purpose when such is not deemed inimical to the
efficient conservation of the species to be collected or to some other
wildlife species that may be dependent thereon.
(d) Methods of Taking. The manner of taking wildlife
resources under a collection license may be specified by the Executive
Director pursuant to G.S. 113-272.4(d) and need not be restricted to
the usual methods of hunting or trapping.
(e) Term of License. The Executive Director may, pursuant
to G.S. 113-272.4(c), impose time limits and other restrictions on the
duration of any collection license, but unless so restricted the
license shall be valid from January 1 through December 31 of the
applicable year.
(f) Report of Collecting Activity. Each individual licensed
under this Rule shall submit a written report to the Executive Director
within 15 days following the date of expiration of the license.
The report shall be on a form supplied by the Wildlife Resources
Commission and shall show the numbers of each species taken under the
license and the use or disposition thereof. The Executive
Director may require additional information for statistical purposes
such as the dates and places of the taking and the sex, size, weight,
condition, and approximate age of each specimen taken. Such
additional information may be required on the form of report or by a
separate writing accompanying the form.
(g) Other Requirements and Restrictions. The Executive
Director may, pursuant to G.S. 113-272.4(d), impose such other
requirements and restrictions on persons licensed under this Rule as he
may deem to be necessary to the efficient administration of the
wildlife conservation laws and regulations.
