§ 113-300.35.  (Effective December 1, 2026) Standards governing issuance of licenses.

The following standards shall govern the selection of approved applications and the locations for which licenses are issued:

(1) No license for a hunting device of any kind, including, but not limited to, stationary stuck or bush blinds and point blinds, shall be granted for any location within 500 yards of any other licensed stationary stuck or bush blind or licensed point.

(2) No person shall be granted a license for more than a total of two blinds of any and all types, except property owners, who may have licensed points on their own property without limit so long as the same are not within 500 yards of any other licensed point or stationary bush or stuck blind.

(3) Licenses shall be issued only to persons thoroughly familiar with the waters of Currituck Sound, who are capable boat operators, of good moral character, licensed hunters, and aged at least 18 years. In determining good moral character, such things as past record of conviction for violation of the game laws of the State of North Carolina or of the United States, or the violation of valid rules and regulations of the Game Commission of Currituck County or of the Wildlife Resources Commission, shall be considered along with other factors determinative of good moral character.

(4) No license shall be assigned or conveyed by the licensee thereof; provided, however, if the licensee dies during the term of the license, the licensee's heirs at law or devisees shall be permitted to operate under said license for the then current hunting season, and no longer, provided that the qualifications specified in this section are met by such successor.  (2026-57, s. 2(a).)
