slugshooter Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Today I received my NC Special Turkey permit that allows me to hunt turkey on public land here in the state, which is great since me and my buddies don't have private land. There is a 13% chance of getting drawn for a permit and we have tried the past three years since NC started issuing them. The funny thing is, is that one of my buddies got one in the mail today also but the land we drew on is on the coast and we didn't want to drive a couple hours to the coast to a game land that we didn't know, the land I was drawn for is where we deer hunt so we know the layout and better yet we know where the big long beards are. Even though I drew the permit , NC allows 3 people to hunt under one permit. Gotta go get a XXX full choke for my Nova and some new calls and get ready to call one into the shooting lane. Whooboy am I happy considering the last couple of days dealing with the loss of my fiance's dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: Got my North Carolina permit today!!! My buddy drew the Roan Island game land in Pender County and I drew the Breece Singletary tract in the Bladen Lakes game land in Bladen county. Bladen is a 45 minute trip compared to 2 hours to Pender and we know there are turkeys in the area we deer hunt out there, we've heard them and scared them away when they were roosting in the trees. I've jumped some up off the ground walking through so they are out there, of course, when we go out there to hunt them they'll probably all but disappear.

slugshooter Posted March 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Re: Got my North Carolina permit today!!! [ QUOTE ] Do you guys have access to Ft. Bragg? I've always heard that the turkey hunting was pretty good there. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, but you have to go through a Ft. Bragg hunter safety course, get a Ft. Bragg hunting license, register your guns, and then they assign spots to hunt on first come first served, as far as I know you can't scout. Just a big hassle. Don't know about the Turkey's out there but they got some good deer out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
