NC - Foxes- 113-291.4. Regulation of foxes; study of fox and fur-bearer populations This statute controls the taking of foxes and the various acceptable methods for doing so.

The statute further states that the Wildlife Resources Commission is directed to study foxes and fur-bearer populations and that subject to the findings from those studies the Commission may open a season if it finds that fox populations in a particular area are adequate to support a harvesting of that population. Lawful methods for taking game animals apply to taking foxes when an open season is declared. The Commission must implement a system of tagging foxes and fox furs with a special tag. No foxes or furs may be sold without a tag.
