Especially with the extremely wet weather we have been experiencing lately. Deer season will be upon us in a few weeks. I have one question for you....Are you ready? Prepping for the upcoming season is much more than just pulling out last year’s equipment and stepping into the field. getting prepared begins by scouting your area. Scouting , at this time , given our wet weather is almost non-existent, but it is an activity that is very important to our upcoming season. If you are hunting private land or with a club you have to be out at the fields/ woods area several times before hunting season looking for deer. I don’t mean walking in on their trails, wear your boots, and leaving your scent everywhere, (take precautions about scent), but truly scouting your area. If you can get out at various times during the off season using a pair of binoculars or a spotting scope, look for the deer in your hunting area. Make copious notes in a trail journal or on a map. Note the patterns and time of day you spot the deer. In the event you are unable to get out several times for some self-scouting trips,, try and obtain a trail camera. These devices can be invaluable to a hunter that is not able to put the time in the field to observe the deer, whether due to work or family obligations. A trail-cam could be the next best thing to being there. If nothing else it will show you the multitude of animals on the property you are hunting. However, remember your scent will be in the areas that you place the camera(s). The NCBA and Boneyard Archery have come together to have a big 3-D event just before our bow season starts. There will be vendors, novelty shoots, 20 targets indoors and 20 targets outdoors.The dates are: Saturday August 18th, 9 AM - 4PM and Sunday, August 19th, 9AM – 2PM at Boneyard Archery, located at 184 Old Covered Bridge Road, Madison, NC. Whatever you do in getting prepared for the upcoming season, check your equipment, practice shooting, and have fun! Screen printing press and conveyor for $400 Call 252 489 8667 ask for Jesse Note the feeding ares. Food sources are important. What are the food sources that the deer are keying in on? Check out the forest... are there any fruit trees on your property? White acorn trees? What crops are being planted nearby? Each of these can give you a clue to the patterns the deer are using and enable you to have a more successful season. It is also important to find two other areas. Bedding areas and staging areas. Bedding areas are just that … places where the deer bed down until that habit of eating makes them get up and move. Staging areas are the areas just outside of the food plots . The deer move around in these areas just before entering the food plots. These are excellent ambush areas for the bowhunter. Check them out. Look for the faint trails, usually indicative of buck movement. Upcoming events: NCBA Annual Picnic, August 5th, Guilford Bowhunters Club, Starting around 11:00AM and eating around 1:00PM. The event will be held at 6057 Rock Quarry Road. Please bring a dish or dessert, the main course and drinks are provided. Check our website for more details. Respectfully submitted.

Northeast North Carolina Family History – thoughts on things new… By: Irene Hampton - nencfamilyhistory@gmail.com It has been a year since we moved to lower Currituck. For anyone who moves, there will always be adjustments and a variety of new experiences some noteworthy and others not. The question is what would be of interest to our posterity? A few weeks ago we had the chance to spend a few hours with my husband’s aunt and uncle at his sister’s home. They were briefly in the area from their home in Florida. We had long promised to visit them in Gloucester, Virginia to talk about family history, stories and look over photos but years went by and suddenly they were much further away – lesson learned (AGAIN!) – don’t put those conversations off that you think you will eventually get to. As her mother, my husband’s grandmother, had died when his aunt was twelve, she was concerned she would not have many memories to share, but as we spoke, I was able to share some information now available on Ancestry.com that her mother had been a postmaster in Waterlily in Currituck back in the early 1930’s. She had never been told that. She shared that her father had been a surfman during WWI which was a fact none of us knew. She added that he had often spoken about it which is why she remembered it well. We had hoped to learn more about her mother’s Sanderlin line but she said after her mother’s death six months after her Sanderlin grandmother’s death, she lost touch with her Sanderlin relatives and her father didn’t share many relevant details and because of her age she hadn’t thought to ask. She remembered buying ice cream for five cents after church then walking to her Hampton grandparents’ home for Sunday dinner. She recalled eating lots of fried chicken and lemon pies. One of the sad yet sweet memories she had was after returning from church, they found her mother very ill and drove her to the old hospital in Elizabeth City where she was placed in an oxygen tent. The last words she heard her mother say were, “It’s so beautiful over there.” It was a great pleasure to share memories of commonplace things that were new to all of us, with promises to share more. One of the struggles of a new place is getting used to where everything is. Many had warned me of the empty shelves at local stores during the summer on or near the Outer Banks. I generally like to shop on Mondays, which worked fine during the winter, but I quickly learned that shelves are not restocked until Wednesday or Thursday and some items are questionable even then!! I was just getting used to the Grandy Food Lion when they did a major overhaul and my tired mind had to start learning where things were all over again. I think many of us in this region shared that pain. Distances to many things have been a bit of a challenge after decades of living in a city. I can only think how spoiled we all are compared to how our ancestors had to get around – so I won’t complain too much. I really need to allow more time and add a little extra for the wait to pull out onto Caratoke Highway… Living surrounded by trees has been something I haven’t done in 40 years and in the Rockies we didn’t have anywhere near the variety of birds we’ve been able to see here. Colors and bird calls I’ve never seen or heard. We added a hummingbird feeder recently and laugh at their antics as they chase each other off. Not a fan of the chiggers in the pine straw or the current crop of yellow flies, but there has to be a trade off somewhere. My husband continued his job with closer access to the Outer Banks and much less drive time but for me it meant two new jobs. The first one was at H2OBX last summer and my current job starting last November as a historical interpreter at the Whalehead in Corolla. What a great blessing, as I was able to discover my new connection as a sixth cousin to Marie Louise Lebel Knight who built the home with her second husband Edward Collings Knight. I can’t forget to mention that I have really enjoyed getting to know the rest of the staff there – not always the case in every new job situation. Being in Corolla had me delve more in depth into the Sanderlin line which brought forth new information, too. July brought new ornaments made from the original Whalehead copper roof tiles. Every year 300 are made with the striations from copper with its lovely green patina. It’s been fun for me to give some as gifts to my husband’s siblings and our children and tell them their great or great-great grandparents looked upon the very roof the shingles come from. I’m including a picture. They are $15.00 or $16.01 with tax not including shipping. If you won’t be in Corolla any time soon you can call 453-9040 and get something new that is very old. I hope you will record some of the new things happening with you or your family this summer. Even the mundane – what you ate for Sunday dinner will be of interest to someone decades from now!
