I'M ORIGINALLY FROM NJ, ALL MY FAMILY IS IN JERSEY AND ALL OVER NY. MY DADS SIDE OF THE FAMILY (ALL THE MEN) HAVE BEEN HUNTING IN THE TAGHKANIC AREA FOR OVER 30 YEARS.I'VE ONLY HUNTED IT FOR 5. I LOVE IT UP THERE!!! AS FOR NORTH CAROLINA THE BUGS ARE REALLY BAD, THE DEER ARE HALF THE SIZE AND THE DARN HUNTING CLUBS AND THE DOG HUNTERS HAVE ALL THE LAND SPOKEN FOR. I'VE TRIED SO MANY TIMES IN THE LAST 4 YEARS TO GET PERMISSION ON DIFFERENT PROPERTIES. MOST OF THE TIME IT'S THE SAME STORY. I'M SO FRUSTRATED THAT I'M SAVING IT ALL FOR UP NORTH!!!!! WOO HOO I'M SO PUMPED JUST TALKING ABOUT IT
