North Carolina Hunting & Fishing

North Carolina stretches from the Atlantic barrier islands to the Appalachian peaks, and its hunting and fishing are just as varied. Hunting guides in North Carolina work the eastern bottomlands and farm country for whitetail deer and the famous black bears of the coastal plain, which grow to extraordinary sizes, while the mountains hold bear, deer, and grouse. Waterfowl hunting on the coastal sounds is a deep tradition.

Fishing charters in North Carolina are world class. The Outer Banks sit where the Gulf Stream swings close to shore, producing blue marlin, tuna, and mahi-mahi, while the sounds and inlets hold red drum, speckled trout, and false albacore. Inland, mountain streams hold wild and stocked trout, and reservoirs and rivers hold bass and catfish. Few states offer this range of water in a single license.
