Bear hunting NC’s coast is one of those things that you just can’t believe how good it is unless you see it for yourself. We hunted a piece of public ground down there for about 10 years and even on the second or third trip it felt too good to be true. Like we were hunting somewhere that we weren’t supposed to be. The first year when we called in our kills and the biologist came out to weigh and pull teeth I was nervous that they were going to tell us that we were on some kind of sanctuary or park.

My Dad and uncle used to drive all the way down there to the Croatan to hunt back before interstate highways. That would have been a trip then.

Eastern NC holds the largest black bears on the planet. Corn and soy fed and with a warmer climate they feed almost year round. It's nothing to see 500 and 600 lbers out there in the fields. Several at a time.
