Pistol rabbit hunting in NC

Post by BunnyBuster12 »

If I am reading and interpreting the rules right NC is alowing people to hunt with there 410 pistols now.

"Pistols
● During the open hunting season for rabbits, squirrels, opossums,
raccoons, furbearing animals and legal nongame animals and
birds, these species may be taken with a pistol. There are no
restrictions on caliber and barrel length."

That was out of the regulations book on line.

Makes it a little more of a challenge. Glad to see they changed a law that was a 100yrs old. :cool: :cool:
