Dear Friends,
Senator Ellie Kinnaird (D-23) yesterday (Feb 3) introduced NC SB 35 which proposes to outlaw all deer hunting with dogs within Orange County. At this point, her proposal has not attracted any co-sponsors. You can track the status of this bill at this link.
The text of the bill is short and to the point:
AN ACT to PROHIBIT THE HUNTING OF DEER WITH DOGS IN ORANGE COUNTY.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. It is unlawful to hunt deer or attempt to take deer with the aid of dogs at any time.
SECTION 2. Violation of this act is a Class 3 misdemeanor.
SECTION 3. This act is enforceable by law enforcement officers of the Wildlife Resources Commission, by sheriffs and deputy sheriffs, and by peace officers with general subject matter jurisdiction.
SECTION 4. This act applies only to Orange County.
SECTION 5. This act becomes effective October 1, 2011, and applies to acts committed on or after that date.
Once it is assigned to a committee, I hope you will join me in letting the members know that laws like this are contrary to our hunting heritage and will be opposed by conscientious sportsmen.

Lee County Candidates Forum Oct. 7
Dear Friends,
The Sanford Herald is sponsoring a Candidates Forum at the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center Lecture Hall at 1801 Nash Street, Sanford, NC on Thursday, October 7 from 6:00 p.m.to 9:00 p.m. Rumor has it that Congressman Bob Etheridge might make a rare public appearance.
This will also be a great opportunity to hear NC Senate District 18 candidate Wesley Meredith and NC House District 51 candidate Jimmy L. Love, Sr. Both of these fine men are NRA Endorsed candidates. I hope that you will join me in taking a little time to support their candidacies. For those of you who think the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is important just let me mention that the candidates opposing both of these men did not bother to answer the NRA's candidate survey. This event is a great forum to let them know that our rights are important to us and will be fundamental to how we vote on November 2. I hope to see you there.
Sincerely yours,
Tom Goffe
