The PC as a hunting tool
A number of years ago I learned about the internet when I returned to college and it wasn’t long till I was using it for information about hunting and the outdoors. I was one of the first to sign up on a message board about hunting in North Carolina and have since become one of the administrators on NCDeer. This past weekend a number of us gathered at Lake Phelps for a weekend of fun and fellowship.
There were about 50 of us with one family traveling all the way from Canada to share in the celebration. The internet has been an incredible way for many of us to meet and develop lasting friendships. The common bond is our love for the outdoors and hunting but friendships grow beyond that and many of us share in each others lives.
Look what fell out of the pot
Much of the time is spent putting faces to computer names and catching up with those we already know. Many stories get told, some of them may even be true, and photographs get shared. The big event of this party is the meal and mainly the menu. This years menu included; moose, deer, rattlesnake, crawfish, bear roast, bear ribs, tilefish, crabs, chicken wings, deer kielbasa, deer sausage, and Canadian bacon to name a few.
Snake anyone?
The internet is in invaluable tool when it comes to researching and planning a trip but don’t over look the opportunities you may get to make connections with others who enjoy the great outdoors. I have had the opportunity to take a few guys on their first goose hunt or turkey hunt and it’s a great experience. Likewise I’ve been invited on deer hunts and coyote hunts around the state.
We had a great weekend, thanks to Conman’s Guide Service for hosting us. I can hardly wait till the next gathering.
