Urban Archery Season January 11 through February 16, 2025

Information for Hunters

  • The Urban Archery Season's intention is to enable cities, towns, and villages to reduce urban deer populations through increased hunter opportunities. Hunting during the Urban Archery Season is allowed ONLY in participating municipalities.
  • The Town of Weddington does not allow hunting on public property. Hunters must have permission from the property owner.
  • The Urban Archery Season does not obligate private landowners to allow hunting on their property, nor does it eliminate the ethical requirement for obtaining permission from the landowner before hunting. Hunters are legally required to obtain written permission to hunt on posted property.
  • Season bag and possession limits for antlerless and antlered deer, including Bonus Antlerless Harvest Report Cards, apply to the general archery, black powder, and gun deer seasons, and also apply to the Urban Archery Season.
  • Deer of either sex may be harvested in participating areas during the Urban Archery Season.
