North Carolina Sportsman’s August issue will be on newsstands within a day or two; deer hunters across the state should pick up a copy and learn what the upcoming season has to offer.
A statewide deer preview discusses how the herd is faring, plus where hotspots are for both numbers and quality of whitetails.
In addition, fishermen can mark down some great striped bass hotspots on an overlooked jewel: Lake Hickory. Learn how the shaky head rig is producing nice catches of bass in unusual places – in Yadkin River system reservoirs – and catch the latest in striper tactics on a handful of lakes.
Along the coast, big channel bass (red drum) will be moving to nearshore reefs off Carolina Beach, and with the season finally open, fishermen can plan on some productive trips out of Morehead City for black sea bass.
For fishermen who want a different challenge, take a few baby steps toward becoming a saltwater fly-fisherman.
Last but not least, learn how turkey hunters did during the past spring season, and get the lowdown on planting cool-season food plots.
Look for the digital version of the August issue in our online store!
