Abstract:

The best deer hunt begins with a careful check of the lay of the land months before the season opens. Knowing the habit and topography that attract deer will benefit the hunter. Almy provides some land features to scout for, including funnels, escape cover, old homesites, fruit trees, and water sources.\r\n\r\n

Abstract:

Almy discusses shed hunting. Sheds are the antlers that a deer loses, usually in mid- to late January. Another set of antlers will be grown by the fall. Hunting sheds give hunters an idea of where deer travel on game lands and the age of the deer. Shed hunting has become so popular that guided, weeklong shed hunts in prime deer areas, including food and lodging included, can cost as much as $3,000. Fortunately, it is free on game lands and the hunter's own hunting area.

Abstract:

Tiny holes, pockets and back eddies in North Carolina rivers are likely holding areas for trout because they are good hideouts, receive less fishing pressure, and have slow currents. Pocket-water trout are especially appealing to fishermen because they can approach close without spooking them. This article offers tips on pocket water identification and trout fishing techniques.
