As far as I know NC is the only state that allows swan hunting? It's a tag system - they issue approximately 5,000. Not that hard to get, actually. The hunting is easy as we have big numbers of birds - and as they don't get hunted that hard, they decoy and call in very easily. It's all about access and most use a guide - there are dozens of guides who book swan hunts usually at less than $100/person. Hunts are usually done by 8am unless you're waiting to pick out a bird with a band. I've never had the desire to shoot a swan, but most of my friends fill their tag each year.
As far as seasons - quail is in till the end of the month....
