Abstract:

Deer hunting in September heat poses challenges not found in cooler weather. Hunters must wear clothes that provide comfort, control a greater amount of human scent, reduce insect distractions, stay awake and alert in the warm air, and dress the deer quickly before the heat spoils it.

The 1966 season deer kill was 2,517 and was exceeded only in 1963 when 2,747 deer were taken. Wildlife management areas include Pisgah, Mt. Mitchell, Sandhills, and Croatan.

Abstract:

Firelighting is a way of taking deer at night by aid of a light, usually a powerful flashlight or car spotlight. The firelighter takes advantage of the deer's night feeding habits and its tendency to be immobilized by a bright light. This method of hunting is illegal. The authors discuss the progress that is being made in bringing these violators to justice and the hazards firelighting creates for both violators and law enforcement officers.
