NCWRC suggests getting that hunting permit early

The last week of August is traditionally the busiest week of the year for hunting licnse sales. With opening day of dove season again falling on the long Labor Day weekend, a time when many beach-bound anglers purchase their Coastal Recreational Fishing Licenses, the agency expects a rush on license sales.
