Know season rules, regulations

As temperatures rise and days get longer, sportsmen are eager to get out their fishing equipment and dust off their turkey calls. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune is surrounded by some of North Carolina’s most sought-after fishing destinations and is home to various wild game species. For hunters and fisherman on base, a few extra steps must be taken to ensure they are following base orders and regulations as well as state requirements regarding hunting and fishing.
