Good luck @Daisy in your quest to take a black bear. Is there a minimum weight limit to black bear in NC?

Here in Maryland we have a 'black bear lottery' every year, it generally takes me 4-5 years to build up enough points to draw a tag. Wish they would just make it like our neighboring counties in WV and let people add a 'bear stamp' to their annual hunting license.

Been lucky to have taken a handful of black bears over the years, I've mainly used my .308 and one year I used my .375H&H for 'kicks and giggles'.

I believe its open state wide with the exception of a few areas.
