Planning a hunt in North Carolina
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission’s Where to Hunt and Shoot resources are a starting point for selecting a destination. Follow through to the specific hunting property or game-land information instead of using a shooting-location listing as a hunting-access determination.
Save the named area’s current map and compare it with the official regulations for your intended activity. Check the entrance, road access and parking location before drawing an approach. Keep nearby properties distinct in your notes when several land managers appear around the same tract.
Check the property and the route
Read the property's current rules, closures and permit requirements. Confirm parking and every part of the approach; a public parcel can be surrounded by private land. A road or path visible on imagery is not proof of public access. Resolve uncertain boundaries with the managing agency.
Use with Free Hunting Map
Open Layers and enable relevant PAD-US public-land manager categories. Compare topo and aerial imagery, mark verified parking and save notes for the spots you plan to check. PAD-US is a planning aid, not a legal boundary or hunting-permission map; parcel coverage in the app is limited to Wisconsin.
View your approach at the zoom levels you need and test the cached map offline before leaving. Keep official property maps and rules with your trip materials.
