RE: Late season NC success in the SNOW!!
Jeff
I'm hunting two different areas at the moment. One place is bordering the hospital land (Hugh Chatham if you're familiar) and the other is near Elkin park (Across the river from Elkin High School). After 6 sittings I've seen 21 deer and harvested a six pointer and the doe pictured. Most of the deer are nocturnal at the moment as just about everytime I get ready to exit the deer pile in by the herds. From the few people I know that are hunting the season, I've been one of the more successful ones as not much has been reported. One gentlemen seen 47 in one sitting, but not to sure how much of that I believe if you get my drift. I put out two feeders full of corn but the deer really aren't hitting the bait, neither deer that i harvested was interested in eating?
I think you mentioned that someone offered you a place to hunt, I'd def. take them up on the offer. I'd offer but both property owners were very stern that no one is to be on their land but me and to come get them if I seen any trespassers.
Another note, I mentioned to Greg (Deer Run) that you spoke positively about his shop online so I'd push for a discount.

Jeff,
I actually went last tuesday and picked up a dozen arrows from Greg's place.
Side Note: I might have some extra meat for the family you mentioned to me previously, we've got a few people that want some but my season's not over. Are you/the family(?) still wanting some meat?

Shoot me a PM. My freezer is full (
).....but with THIRTEEN kids....I'm sure the family I donate meat to would be grateful and very appreciative of your gesture.
Let me know. ALL you'd have to do is bring the field dressed animal to my house. I'd take it, from there. We can drink a beer or 6 while I'm butchering her up. I'd like that.
Thank you.

good deal, 9 times out of 10 I'll already have it in a cooler. I might have some meat left over from this doe, but I've got your # so I'll let you know. I'm off Monday and Tuesday so we'll see how things play out.
