About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedBertie County holds some of the finest big-woods deer hunting on the East Coast, anchored by the vast Roanoke River bottomlands and the Roanoke River National Wildlife Refuge. Remote hardwood swamps and agricultural fields along the Chowan River produce mature bucks that receive relatively little pressure. Black bear populations in the river corridor add a meaningful secondary species to an already stout game roster.
Flat coastal plain dominated by Roanoke and Chowan River bottomland hardwoods, wooded swamps, mixed pine-hardwood uplands, and row-crop farms on better-drained soils.
Low to moderate — remote swampy terrain keeps casual hunters out and rewards those who navigate by boat.
NC OTC statewide license; NWR quota hunts require separate drawings for certain management areas.
Wild Turkey are present across upland timber and ag-field margins. Black bear numbers in the Roanoke River corridor are among the highest in coastal NC.
Roanoke River bottomland trophy-buck reputation; one of coastal NC best-documented black bear hunting areas.
