Not from Gates, but the gamelands is over there. I live in Pasquotank County. Went out yesterday for some bowhunting. Nothing much. Saw deer earlier a few weeks ago in the evening in the field. Never tried blackpower, but everyone that does hunt blackpower really likes it.
Looking at at Winchester buck and tom 12 gauge shotgun.
