202 Where to Hunt 



At Newbern the duck and snipe shooting is generally 

 good in the season. Near Washington, on the Pamlico 

 river in Beaufort county, is a place where the sports- 

 man is likely to find good furred and feathered game 

 shooting. 



Maysville in Jones county, and Riverdale in Craven 

 county, are said to be excellent places for wild turkey. 



Duck and brant shooting is excellent in season about 

 Roanoke island. Hobgood in Halifax county is good 

 for quail shooting. 



Edenton in Chowan county is an attractive town on 

 the east coast. It is on Edenton bay, where the 

 Chowan and Roanoke rivers enter Albemarle sound. 

 The country in this neighborhood is excellent for quail 

 shooting ; after November the shooting is best. 



A great deal of the land in North Carolina is posted, 

 but as a rule the sportsman, by gentlemanly conduct, 

 can secure permission to shoot from farmers for a small 

 consideration. 



Belfast in Beaufort county usually gives good sport, 

 consisting of deer, water-fowl, and quail shooting. 



Good quail shooting is to be found at Salisbury in 

 Rowan county. 



Those fond of snipe shooting can generally find good 

 shooting about Newbern the first three months of the 

 year ; there is also good shooting of other game.
