DUBLIN, N.C. (Dec. 28, 2017) — The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission will conduct a public hearing in Dublin on Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. to take comments on proposed changes to 35 agency regulations related to wildlife management, fisheries and game lands for the 2018-19 seasons. The public hearing will be held at the Bladen Community College auditorium located at 7418 N.C. 41 West in Dublin. Three proposed changes of interest to deer hunters statewide will: Establish five deer season zones by separating the Eastern Zone into two zones — the Northeastern Zone and the Southeastern Zone.
