Abstract:

Henry Snuggs combines his passion for woodworking and fish into a unique artform called Uncle Henry’s Artofishals. Similar to decoy carvings used in duck hunting or ice fishing, Henry carves and paints decorative fish that he calls “realistic folk art.” The carvings are three-dimensional and suspended, making the fish appear to be swimming.

Abstract:

North Carolina's Outer Banks have attracted hunters for over 150 years. Well into the 20th-century, the islands were dotted with lodges of gunning clubs, which have since been absorbed into national park lands. Waterfowl was the target of most of the clubs, but an introduced bird, the ring-necked pheasant, also provided sport. The only self-sustaining pheasant population in the state lives on the Outer Banks. Studies have failed to determine why they thrive there and nowhere else. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore does not allow pheasant hunting, but hunting is allowed in other island areas.

Abstract:

The black drum, the largest member of the croaker family, is a feisty game fish that provides plenty of fight for fishermen along the Carolina coast. Many states regulate size and creel limits to protect the fish, but black drum fishing in North Carolina is unregulated. The largest black drum ever caught in state waters weighed 100 pounds and 1-ounce and was caught in the Cape Fear River in 1998.

Abstract:

The North Carolina Wildlife Commission's three-year experimental teal season concludes September 7-16, 2000. Bag limit is four teal per hunter per day. Whether the teal season becomes permanent depends upon hunter response. Some feel September is too early for waterfowl hunting. Continuation also depends on whether or not state guidelines for accidental and illegal harvest of other ducks are followed.

Three squirrel species live in North Carolina - the red, gray, and fox. Marsh describes a squirrel slam to hunt these three types.
