hello everyone from n.c. this will be my first season also. i live in richmond co. ( rockingham) and there are plenty and i mean plenty of birds here. you can see plenty of em crossing the highway by the pee dee river. we have plenty of game land to hunt on. i dont belong to any hunting club so im gonna take advantage of the gamelands. i am from holden beach which is not far from wilmington and i know how hard it is to hunt down there . there are more golf courses and houses than woods. well just thought i'd let you guys know about the turkeys up this way
