That time of year again going to sell a few hunts to help offset some cost. I have several farms that you will have access to. You can shoot one buck of your choose and one buck 8pt or better also 2 does. Hunts will start around lunch time on Friday and end Sunday afternoon when you finish hunting that evening. You will have roughly 15-18 stands to choose from. There is a small local motel that gives me reduced rates and several places in town to eat. We will start running a few cameras in the next few weeks. Several of the boxes blinds are big enough for two to sit in together each stand is baited 950.00 per person. We are probable only going to sell 4-5 hunts. Bow season starts 2nd week in Sept. Gun season starts second Saturday in October. We will also have a few bear hunts not sure of the dates yet they have not come out, Bear hunt is for 4 days 2,000 up front and 1000 more when you shoot. 4 hunters shot 4 bears last year. This is also still hunting over bait. Thanks Tom 252-287-8867.

Tom, just trying to be helpful and avoid confusion. Still hunting involves very quiet, slow stalking of the animal. It sounds like you are offering stand hunting.

TS, In NC and several other eastern states bears and deer can be hunted with dogs. Here, it's either dog hunting (running) or still hunting (not running).
Thanks, Dinny

My son and I went with Tom last year and we will rebook again. We had a great time even though the weather didn’t help us out.

Thanks Dinny. I was referring to Tom's statement on bear hunting "This is also still hunting over bait." The "also" relates to the deer hunting in box blinds. I'm pretty sure he's confusing terms but I'll leave it at that. As I recall, NC produces some big bears! I'd like to hunt black bear in the lower 48. All of my bear hunts have been in Canada - Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. If I ever get around to it, NC and Maine will be my likely choices. Hunting black bears is great fun! T.S..

We are in the North East corner of NC we hunt Halifax, Northampton and a little bit of Hertford county. Most of our bears will average 250-350 pounds we always a few on camera that are a lot bigger but just like deer they are harder to hunt. All of the hunting will be out of some sort of blind. Thanks

Just a note here, in NC and SC still hunting usually refers to hunting from a stand or box blind. To us slipping or stalking is what you would consider still hunting.

Ha! I guess use of terms varies in different localities. My understanding of the term as a slow and quiet stalk is pretty universal. Just Search the term "Still Hunting".
Still-hunt [ˈstilhənt] VERB still-hunting (present participle) hunt game stealthily; stalk.
That said, I think we've beat this horse enough. :-)

That's always been my preferred method too Dinny. Quietly moving through the woods and encountering game is an exciting and productive way to hunt.
Best regards,
Russell

I’ve had a few people private message me about my experience so I thought I would post this here for those that might also be interested. I hunted deer with my young son three years ago. Due to scheduling conflicts of my own I ended up having to make the hunt in December. It was past their rut and on a full moon with Weather in the teens, we only saw one doe which we took. I chalked up the lack of seeing deer to the full moon and mostly Hunting with a seven-year-old who was not very good at being still or quiet. Tom has access to more land now and I’m considering going again this time as close to their rut as possible.Tom was a great host providing the hunt/camping experience we were looking for. We stayed in a small cabin he has. Just two bunks and and a wood burning stove. No electricity or water. It was a father son bonding trip with memories that will last a lifetime.

I booked with Tom a few years ago and camped in the cabin. There are lots of deer in the area. I rattled in a nice 8pt, but was holding out for bigger. A great value hunt.
