I sure hope it does pass but I can not help but remember that NC voted for BO not once but twice. And we are being invaded by foreigners at an alarming rate. Common sense is not very common here anymore!

Hope it passes. As QBD stated NC is a changing demographic

I need to go back and reread it.. as it was originally written it essentially protected the ability to run hounds by forever cementing it into the law. I didn't agree with that as the time is quickly coming to where it will be even more of an issue. The practice isn't my preference but my greater issue is with those that tend to participate are less and less law abiding in my observations. As lease prices rise they are concentrating more and more on public lands and cleaning out the game. However, private blocks around farms are very abundant creating voids were "some" deer filter in, but not for long. As soon as the tailgates drop, the deer start moving into private properties and inside the farms where they are later shot for crop depredation. I live on the edge of a game land that spreads into 3 counties. The game land has the lowest concentration of all game in the area. I don't even bother trapping it because fox and coon are scarce. I gave up deer hunting it after rifle opened years ago.
