Well, I've got mixed feelings on that. Being a smokepole hunter, I was glad to see another week added to our season. Unfortunately, we now have to "share" our two weeks (per zone) with those folks. IMHO, muzzleloaders did not gain anything - we lost our season. The upside is that disabled archers can now legally use a crossbow without going thru the hassle of the old special permit run-around.
Another thing . . . and this is BIG for all NC hunters. Bowhunting ONLY is now allowed on Sundays, but only on private land. I do not believe "open" hunting will ever be allowed - the religious community would never stand for the sound of guns echoing thru the hills and woods during services.
