Changes in hunting and fishing regulations proposed by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission for 2009-2010 include requiring hunters to attach a physical tag to deer and other big game at the harvest site starting in the fall of 2010.

Hunters would still be required to check in a harvest and obtain an authorization number for Big Game Harvest Report Cards. A return to hard tags was requested by many hunters in North Carolina and would improve the commission’s ability to monitor harvest, stated a commission press release. Continue Reading

Mathews, the #1 bow company in the world, introduces the new-for-2008 DXT, its latest SlimLimb bow. The DXT gives you the perfect balance of excessive power and exceptional accuracy.

What is different about the new DXT?

It’s shorter – At just 29 3/4′ axle-to-axle, the DXT is terrific in tight quarters.

It’s lighter – At just 3.75lbs, the DXT will be a welcome companion on the trek up the mountain or across the cornfield.

It’s faster – At 322 fps, the DXT gives you the perfect balance of excessive power and exceptional accuracy. ‘Thin is in’ and the DXT’s SlimLimbs give the bow a streamlined appearance and result in less, unnecessary weight.

SlimLimbs are also tough. The DXT’s SlimLimbs are constructed of next generation SE4 composite and last typically twice as long as traditional, lifetime-guaranteed limbs. The DXT will feature Mathews’ new Lost Camo. The exclusive new camouflage pattern designed specifically with bowhunters in mind.
MSRP $859.00

October is a good news, bad news time of the year for North Carolina’s outdoorsmen. That’s because it is open season for just about everything that swims, walks or flies, and with limited time, outdoorsmen have to maximize their efforts. Here, we offer up some angling “best bets” from across the state for the busy sportsman who can squeeze in some fishing time.

Whether you are chasing smallmouths in the French Broad River, stalking speckled trout in the Haystacks Marsh on the Crystal Coast or seeking slab crappies on Kerr Lake, you just can’t go wrong wetting a line most anywhere in North Carolina in October.

(5.) Stealth Cam Prowler $400
Many game cameras take photos of noses and rear ends—not exactly vital scouting information. However, the Prowler’s one- to nine-shot burst mode captured every inch of the game that walked by my camera. The color images were sharp and clear, and the black-and-white infrared night photos were crisp. · 888-304-6125 · stealthcam.net

The promises he made on this subject are not ambiguous. He says he’ll recognize and support the Second Amendment as an individual right. He says we have no reason to be fearful that an Obama administration will seek to take away our guns or curb our freedoms. He spent a lot of time preaching this message to the “bitter clingers,” trying to earn trust, or at least allay suspicion.

To say that those who care deeply about the Second Amendment are skeptical about Obama’s promises puts it mildly—mostly because Obama’s record on gun-rights issues is equally unambiguous.

Throughout his career he has supported bans on “assault weapons” and the right to concealed carry. He has supported lawsuits designed to bankrupt the firearms industry and has put forth proposals to increase taxes on ammunition by as much as 500 percent. He’s been in favor of limiting the number of guns a person can purchase over the course of a month and restricting sales of handgun ammunition and ammunition. In fact, during his political career there has not been a piece of anti-gun legislation he hasn’t thrown his weight behind.

Yet he’s promised to keep his hands off our guns and off the Second Amendment.

Here’s to the hope that Obama will keep his word. Here’s to the hope that Obama will change.
