smokepoledoug...I just joined a club in the area you are talking about. We are in Coakley, about 10 miles outside of Princeville.
click...I live just east of Salisbury in Granite Quarry and it takes me around 3 hrs and 15min to get to the hunt camp in Edgecombe.

There are tons of deer in that area and good numbers of turkey. If I go sit on a peanut or bean field in the evening and don' t see anything, it is VERY VERY rare. The buck to doe ratio is out of whack like everywhere else in the state, but we have introduced a two buck limit to members this year. Big bucks are not common, but they are not rare either. You just have to hunt harder to find them. Most guys are content with sitting on a field day in and day out and don' t care to chase the big boys. Just a little info about what I know in that area.
