About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedBrunswick County occupies the far southeastern corner of NC between the Cape Fear River and the South Carolina border, offering a coastal mosaic of pocosins, bay swamps, longleaf flats, and tidal marshes that supports strong deer and turkey populations. The Green Swamp — one of the largest remaining pocosins in the Southeast — anchors public hunting access and sustains a notable black bear population. Coastal proximity adds genuine waterfowl opportunities on Cape Fear River tributaries and tidal marshes during winter.
Low coastal plain with Green Swamp pocosins, longleaf pine-wiregrass savannas, Cape Fear River bottomlands, tidal creeks, and suburban-agricultural interface near the Wilmington growth corridor.
Moderate — Green Swamp Game Land draws dedicated hunters but difficult terrain self-regulates; suburban sprawl from the Wilmington metro is increasing pressure on private tracts.
NC OTC statewide license; Green Swamp Game Land has quota hunts and drawings for controlled rut-season periods.
Wild Turkey are healthy across the savannas and swamp edges. Waterfowl hunters work tidal marshes and river backwaters in winter. Black bear numbers in the Green Swamp are notable for a coastal county.
Green Swamp Game Land pocosin hunting — a unique and demanding experience; coastal duck hunting on Cape Fear River tributaries.
