Now you can use hi-cap semi-auto pistols. This means you can hunt deer with a Glock 19 and a 17 round mag.

Also from a few inquiries to the Wildlife Resources in Raleigh and a conversation with a game warden. You can legally hunt with AR's, AK's FAL's HK-91's and such with 20-30 round magazines. From what I hear the SKS and the AR-15 tends to be very popular in the NC woods, with some guys using AK's and some semi-auto 7.62x51mm battle rifles.
From what I understand Georgia has no mag limit on rifles. The thing about NC is that is seems you can go hunting like Rambo. LOL I am trying to figure out why these changes were made. I am not complaining at all about them, they seem cool but I am wondering why they are so lax.
“There used to be a restriction on the caliber of the gun, but they have done away with that to allow hunters the opportunity to harvest (deer) with different calibers,” said Sgt. Sam Craft, a wildlife-enforcement officer from Wilson County.
“There was some interest from hunters to take game with different calibers and shorter length barrels,” Craft said. “After some discussion, they decided that there really was no more likelihood of an animal being wounded and then the failure to be able retrieve that animal.”
