Limited season preview
Compare recorded birds bagged and hunter effort for one North Carolina refuge. These are seasonal summaries, not daily hunting results.
Official workbooks and accepted numeric cells checked October 31, 2026; not current-season coverage.
2021–22: 12 of 16 records; 2022–23: 9 of 16; 2023–24: 15 of 16. This subset is not complete refuge totals or statewide coverage.
Blind label and season. Birds bagged includes non-ducks; reported hunter counts are not proven unique people. No daily dates or blind locations.
Compare birds bagged per reported hunter, bagged totals and source-defined days hunted within accepted blind-season records. Cross-year location continuity and current access are not established.
Accepted records only: 12 source conflicts are withheld. This selected subset cannot establish the best blind across the whole refuge.
1.13 birds bagged per reported hunter · 60 birds bagged · reported hunter count 53 · 25 reported days hunted.
This is one seasonal observation among published records meeting your filters, with a reported hunter-count minimum of 20. Blind labels do not establish unchanged physical locations or present access.

Rate = birds bagged ÷ reported hunter count. Bagged includes non-ducks, including geese and swans. Hunter counts are not proven unique people; “days hunted” is the source measure, not hunter-days. The minimum-count control is a comparison aid, not a confidence guarantee. No daily dates, weather effects or future success are established.
13 published blind-season records meet this selection; 2 published records below the minimum count. 1 selected blind-season records are withheld for source conflicts. Withheld is not zero.

Choose a supplied season to compare its accepted blind records. “All three seasons” shows each blind-season separately; it does not average rates or treat the same label as a verified unchanged physical blind. Exact hunt dates and within-season trends are not supplied. Check current official permits, rules and access before planning.
