I'm one of 20 that lease two different tracts totaling about 1000 acres. We kick off the season with the traditional Dove hunt the first week in Sept, bow hunt from mid Sept to mid October, rifle hunt from mid Oct till the day after thanksgiving and then hunt with dogs from the end of Nov through January 1. We also have some quail, small game, and predators.

I had hunting public land all my life. However,I started taking my sons hunting when they were 6 & 8 and the public land in NC was over crowded. ON public land, you don't know who you're hunting with.
