I grew up in eastern NC, we lived in town, but several of my uncles were farmers and owned farms in the county - we hunted them. We were small game hunters; my Dad and my Uncle Fred started taking me when I was about seven, and my younger brothers came along when they each got to be seven. Hard to believe I'm 50+ years a hunter now! I still hunt some small game - dove this coming Monday for opening day, birds on preserves, and rabbits at the farm in season - hunt rabbits with hounds. Now I hunt deer quite often (we didn't have many deer to hunt when I was a boy), waterfowl in Currituck Sound, and spring turkey - those are my most frequent and most fun game to hunt. Odessa
