About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedTyrrell County is one of North Carolina least populous counties and one of its most productive wildlife destinations, anchoring the heart of the Albemarle-Pamlico pocosin ecosystem along the Alligator River. Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge covers a massive swath of the county, supporting large populations of black bear, white-tailed deer, and waterfowl in one of the most remote corners of the East Coast. Hunters willing to navigate the dense pocosin wilderness find world-class big-game and waterfowl opportunities with virtually no hunting pressure.
Flat coastal plain dominated by extensive pocosin wetlands, Atlantic white cedar swamps, and managed impoundments along the Alligator River and the southern shore of Albemarle Sound.
Low. Remote access, dense vegetation, and lack of paved road infrastructure deter all but committed hunters, keeping this county among the least-pressured in eastern North Carolina.
OTC deer license required; some NWR hunt units operate by special quota permit drawing.
Black bear hunting here ranks among the best in the eastern United States; coastal plain bears are often large-bodied due to abundant mast and agricultural food sources. Waterfowl hunting on the sound and managed impoundments is excellent for puddle ducks, divers, and snow geese. Turkey populations are solid in upland margins.
Exceptional black bear hunting on Alligator River NWR; one of the finest combinations of bear and waterfowl hunting available anywhere in eastern North America.
