Hello to All
My wife and I are approaching the time to sell our farm near Auburn in central New York and plan to relocate to North Carolina in retirement, most likely to the area near Elkin and Thurmond. I guess this is my third retirement as I'm a retired Army infantryman and retired from custom home building and finish carpentry a few years ago. Maybe this time I'll really mean it. I'm joining the forum to get a better idea of what's going on in NC.
I hunt a lot, fish some and trap a little bit and figure to continue that in NC. I recently got my license for tracking wounded big game with a leashed dog so I suspect I'll continue with that, too. Once I get me feet on the ground I hope to get back into teaching hunter education.
I thought the fish and wildlife laws in the People's Republic of New York were complicated but the county by county rules in NC will really take some getting used to.
We have a smokehouse and cure a lot of our own meats and make a lot of kinds of sausage so we're planning to continue that after the move. We are looking for a place with enough shop space (existing or building space) for my wood and metal working equipment and to continue in our hobby of collecting military vehicles. The ability to set up a range for pistol and rifle is a requirement.....
I'm primarily a deer, turkey and goose hunter and hope to continue them for a long while, especially deer hunting. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you. Thanks for having me.
