Abstract:
The dog breeds of the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association (NAVHDA), mostly of continental European descent, are expected to perform a number of hunting activities like pointing, retrieving upland birds on land and in water, track furred or feathered game on land, and be cooperative yet independent while doing so. The article includes four kinds of tests to see how many of these skills each dog has and pictures and a brief sketch of the breeds in the Carolinas chapter.

He provides information on some of the streams listed by their river basins, such as the Yadkin River, New River, and French Broad River basins, as well as tackle and techniques to use.

Abstract:
There was a time when hunting was looked upon as a purely male activity, whether it was for food or sport. However, that image is changing in the state as more women are taking to the fields and forests. \"Concern about food sources, escape from stressful daily lives, and the thrill of the hunt\" are among reasons given. Statistics from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission indicate that during the last five years hunting licenses issued to women have increased to 22,000 in 2013 from under 16,000 in 2009. Four women, all young, avid, expert hunters, relate their experiences.

Abstract:
The Apalachia Reservoir is the first reservoir in North Carolina to be managed as a trophy trout fishery. In 2012 the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission stocked 5,000 trout (brown and rainbow). The stocks have continued to thrive as they take advantage of the presence of the invasive blueback herring.
