AI Summary: This regulation establishes detailed record-keeping and reporting requirements for controlled hunting preserve operators in North Carolina. The operator must maintain two primary types of written records: one documenting each hunter using the preserve, which includes the hunter's name, address, license number, date of hunt, number and species of birds harvested, and the operator's signature, and another record tracking the number, species, and release date of game birds on the preserve. The operator must provide the original record to the hunter as a receipt and retain a duplicate copy for 12 months. Possession of harvested game birds is prohibited without the specified receipt. Additionally, to renew their operator's license, licensed operators must report the number, species, and county of birds released using the Controlled Hunting Preserve Game Birds Report Form available online or at the Commission headquarters. These records must be made available for inspection upon request by the Commission.
