I wanted to give you all a heads up. This past Wednesday at the Big Game Committee meeting, there was an announcement made that we all need to be aware of and involved in.
After the new year, the NCWRC will conduct a state wide ( districts that allow dogs ) dog hunting study. This is being done at the request of the legislators in Raleigh.This will be similar to the recent bear study that was just completed ,where they will host public meetings in all districts. NOW more than ever , your participation and voice needs to be heard. More important than that , you need to realize that the upcoming season will be the ground work for statistics used in the study. Meaning - GIVE THEM NOTHING TO USE AGAINST US and let your actions only reflect positively on the sport. If there is a situation, handle it appropriately. Be proactive and avoid and issues when possible. They also want to work with us to understand our side and help to resolve some of the obstacles that we face. We do not want an all or nothing ultimatum. Police yourselves and each other. What you do today will determine what you can do tomorrow.
