Hey Guys & Gals,

Hi I'm a new member to the site and have some questions for those who live and hunt in the tar-heel state. When does the rut usually take place in the piedmont region; lincoln, catawba, iredell, gaston counties? Also, does anyone have any information on any of the local public hunting lands in that area? I'm looking for land to hunt on within an hour or so from Hickory, NC.

Thanks alot,
