Where about's is this spot? I mean in general, don't expect you to share your honey hole with everyone. Looks like we may need to concentrate more on hanging out and shooting at squirrels and such. I also know that the Perkins Game Lands in Davie Co. is supposed to have a good small game population.

If no one offers up a piece of private property for a squirrel hunt/camping then a game land will be needed. That creates a problem if camping over night is in the plan since very few game lands allow camping, at least that I am aware of. However, in central NC at a remote little place is an area called Burkhead Game Lands. It is west of Ashboro off of Rt. 49. It is a section about 4-5 miles wide and 5-6 miles long. It allows camping anywhere within the game lands. I have done plenty of trips there in 18th century clothing and carrying black powder flintlocks. There are usually plenty of squirrels about, but like anything they can be hard to find sometimes. I believe the Birkhead Game Lands can be found by searching the web for directions. Two parking lots are available, one at the old Thurmond home site that is a good choice since it can be seen from the road. The other one is hidden from the road.
This is just a suggestion as to a location. I will plan on attending if this comes together on February 5th, 2011.

I believe I called it the Thurmond home site for parking and it is actually the Thornburg home site...sorry
