huntregs is not the law and is not an official edition of any state’s regulations: no state agency writes, reviews, publishes or approves it, and where a page here differs from the agency document it cites, the agency document is the regulation and this page is wrong.
It is an editorial compilation of state agency regulation documents: every row is carried verbatim out of one named document, cited by title, identified by the sha256 of the exact bytes we read, and printed beside the source lines it was read from.
What we do carry
rows verbatim — no row is summarised, and every field the source row carried is rendered, including the ones we have no column for;
each record’s own declaration of what it does not contain, printed in full and unedited, above the rows rather than under them;
our own withdrawals — dated, with the reason as written, and the state’s rows gone from every route while the withdrawal stands.
What we do not carry
the law itself. Every state page links the agency’s own document; that is the thing to read.
declared gaps. Where a record says regulation exists that it does not carry, that regulation is not here — it is named, in the record’s words, and it is still missing.
zone, unit or boundary geometry. The compilation holds no maps and this app draws none; several records declare that as a gap themselves.

what this rule cannot see
It reads this record's OWN prose. A restriction nobody declared is invisible to it — and an undeclared restriction is what takes a state offline.
It takes each gap's carries_regulation flag at face value. A gap mis-declared as non-regulatory is a silent miss.
It cannot weigh. One missing county list and fourteen missing pages of special-permit hunts each score once. There is no severity here, and that is why no score is shown.
It classifies a whole gap, never a row. A gap that qualifies four rows and a gap that qualifies all of them read identically.
Across the published records the record-level answer is almost always over. That is a statement about how regulation is written — what is missing from a compilation is usually a restriction — not a ranking of states.
Record integrity
Current through — the document this record was read from, and nothing later than it:
The document is those bytes. A URL is a name; if the publisher replaces the file behind it, this hash stops matching and the mismatch is the finding.
We fetched it on 2026-08-08. That is our retrieval date, not a publication date. This record carries no date on which its publisher issued, adopted, amended or last revised that document, so this page states none. Any effective, issue or adoption date the document states of itself is inside the citation above, in the publisher’s own words — nothing here lifts it out or restates it as a fact of ours.
The publisher is named inside that citation, in the publisher’s own words. This record carries no publisher field of its own, so nothing here names one separately.
The record states its own regulation year as 2026. That is the record’s field, not a currency claim: a record may state a year older than the day we fetched it, and where it does, it says so here.
Do not take our word for it. The document every row on this page was read out of is one tap away, and checking us against it is exactly what the citation, the sha256 and the source lines under each row are for.
If that document says something this page does not, the document is the regulation and this page is wrong. The copy we read is the one whose sha256 is above; if the publisher has replaced the file since 2026-08-08, yours will not match ours, and that difference is the thing worth knowing.
What this record does not carry
derived North Carolina declares 2 gaps, of which 1 is regulation this compilation does not carry.

cross-references
Two bodies of deer regulation this page names and does not contain: the zone map on folio 63 (PDF p.65), and the Game Lands section, which the page says carries its own weapon-season and Gun Antlerless Deer Season dates that override the county's. **A hunter on game land cannot rely on this table alone.** The CWD Special Early Season row prints only its dates and '(See page 64)'; its terms are on FOLIO 64, WHICH IS PDF PAGE 66 — not this page. **Every page number the publisher prints is a folio and this booklet's folios run two behind its PDF indices**, so an unqualified 'p.64' beside a citation reading 'p.64 (folio 62)' names two different pages; a reader following it lands back on the season table. That is the ambiguity Arizona is offline for, and it is recorded here rather than resolved by rewriting what the page prints.

Who does have it
Not us. North Carolina’s agency publishes the document this record was read from, and that document — not this page — is where the material above has to be chased:
Where the description above names some other document, register, office or telephone number, that naming is the record’s own and is printed in full above. Nothing here has followed it up for you, and nothing here has re-typed it.
1 further gap(s) the record says carry no regulation
declared by the record, which states these carry no regulation. They are published because the reason a thing was not read is part of the evidence.
figure — decorative page furniture
The one figure on this page is the section-corner ornament in the top left: an orange section tab down the page edge and a pale diagonal wedge over a mottled grey-blue texture raster (JP2, 646x452, CMYK), with a soft grey drop shadow. It measures 15.3% image / 15.2% curve only because the raster's placement rectangle (216x310pt) and the rotated square that clips it are both large; the ink actually inside them is the same masthead device printed on every chapter page of this digest. **It carries no regulation. It has no county, no boundary, no date, no label and no legend** — read off the page at 600 dpi and again from the extracted raster on its own. Nothing on it was parsed because there is nothing on it to parse. **THE ZONE MAP IS NOT ON THIS PAGE, which is the thing worth checking here and the reason this gap is separate.** The head note's "See the map on page 63" names a FOLIO; folio 63 is PDF p.65, a different page, which carries the coloured county map and the inset drawing N.C. 191, U.S. 25 and N.C. 280 that scopes the Buncombe/Henderson footnote. That map does carry regulation and is declared above as a cross-reference. What this page prints of it is the KEY: a colour swatch beside each county group, matching that group's colour on the p.65 map (orange = Southeastern CWD, yellow = Northwestern CWD, blue = the Buncombe/Henderson/McDowell group, grey and white = the far-western counties and Graham). The swatches are `rect` fills, are not read, and **nothing is lost by that**: every county each one keys is printed in full beside it in text and travels on the row.

The compilation carries no boundary data, so it cannot say which side of N.C. 191 a given place falls on; the row states the scope in the publisher's words and stops there.
