My favorite time of year is once again here... that time is Fall, and that means hunting seasons are starting to come in. There is just something about being in the woods trying to get close enough to a shy old Whitetail, or on the water trying to get a sharp-eyed Mallard to decoy on a cool crisp morning and getting a glimpse of nature coming awake. I am not the only person around that looks forward to this, especially after a yearlong of daydreaming, scouting, and planning.
But you can't talk about hunting without the subject of conservation. Some do not realize how important conservation is to wildlife and to the people that enjoy those species. Without conservation wildlife would have a tough time existing; they would not have laws to protect them, or the spaces need to hold healthy populations. But, conservation does not just effect game animals; it has a positive effect on non-game species as well.
If you are new to the sport, or a seasoned vet, you've probably seen the positive effects of conservation tools, such as regulated hunting. Visit ncwildlife.org for seasons, bag limits, and other regulation that uphold Fair Chase. Enjoy the outdoors safely; wear blaze orange when and where applicable, wear a lifejacket when heading out on the water, and most importantly - treat every gun as if it were loaded and know your target and what's beyond it. And don't go into the bear woods of Tyrrell County with peanut butter and honey buns :)
