X/tiieU By Jim Dean NC WiMIiIi Rnourm Commwion Last spring, as the turkey season drew to a close, I chanced upon Dick Hamilton in the hall. Dick, who is Assistant Director of the Wildlife Commission, looked like the last survivor of an Angolan mercenary expedition, "What in the world?" I asked, marveling at his haggard appear ance. "I ve been hunting turkey gobblers every morning except Sundays for two weeks," he said. "You know, it's a funny thing, but I believe the two most happy days of the turkey hunters year are the first day of the spring gobbler season -- and the last. I don t think I could survive much longer." For the addicted turkey hunter, the spring gobblers - only season makes the rest of the year worth living, but it plays havoc with the daily routine. During the season, breakfast is wolfed down at 3:30 ir the morning and each dawn find" the turkey hunter shivering in the woods. This spring, the season opens April 10 and closes May 1 in and east of Rockingham, Forsyth, Yadkin, Iredell, Catawba, Lincoln and Gaston counties. In and west of Stokes, Surry, Wilkes, Alexan der, Caldwell, Burke and Cleveland counties, the season is April 17 -- May 8. Only bearded turkeys may be hunted, and the daily bag limit is one with two in possession and a limit of two for the season. No dogs may be used, and the carcass ol each wild turkey must be tagged and reported as a big game kill. Hunters will need a big game license as well as a state hunting license. The reason for holding the turkey season in the spring and restricting it to bearded turkeys only is to- protect brood stocks and promote the expansion of the turkey population in North Caro Una. Hen turkeys are not only protect ed by law but also receive addition al protection because they do not answer the hunter's "calls" in the spring. Only the male turkeys respond to calls. The spring season, in conjunction with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Com mission's successful trapping and restocking of turkeys in many areas, is helping restore the turkey to many parts of the state ? particularly in the west -- where populations have been very low or extinct for many years. The wild turkey is a notoriously wary and intelligent bird, and the spring gobblers-only season gives these birds an even greater advan tage. It takes a careful, knowledge able hunter to collect a mature gobbler. "One thing about turkey hunters has always puzzled me," remarked Dick Hamilton. "To be a successful turkey hunter, it takes the reflexes of a cat, the eyesight of an eagle, the cunning of a fox, the patience of Job, and the woodsmanship of an Indian. And yet, all the turkey hunters I meet in the woods are aparently blind, deaf and lost. "You ask a turkey hunter if he's seen anything, and he'll quickly tell you he hasn't seen a thing," mused Dick. "Ask him if he's heard any turkeys gobbling, and he'll shake his head and claim he hasn't heard a single yelp all year. If you're bold enough to ask him where he's been hunting, he's likely to express a total loss of recall on that subject." "Yeah," I agreed. "I've noticed that. By the way, where are you going to open the season?" "Humm," said Dick, "Let's see, I believe it's down east somewhere between Raleigh and Hatteras. Of course. I can't be real sure because I've only seen it in the dark." Paint Cracking? Easy To Correct By Willie Feathentone, Jr., Au't. Agricultural Agent This is the last in a series of articles on correcting common painting problems around the house. Extreme cracking, sometimes known as alligatoring, is caused by applying a second or third coat of paint before the previous coat dries. In some cases, cracking or alligatoring is also caused by using Tax Receipts Rise Collections of state sales and use tax from February 1975 through January 1976 in Hoke County totaled S626.440, an increase of $26,983 or four and one half per cent over collections from February 1974 through January 1975, ac cording to state revenue officials. Statewide, 1975 net collections totaled $437,374,523, an increase of $15,058,779, or 3.57 per cent. All counties experienced an in crease in gross collections except Person and Yancey. The greatest increase, 24.91 per cent, occurred in Currituck County and the lowest. .04 per cent, occurred in Brunswick County. an undercoat that was not made for use with the type of finish coat applied to the surface. The only solution to the problem is to completely sand away the cracked or alligatored surface. If a large area is involved, it is wise to use power sanding or brushing equipment. The job may take too much time and effort for sanding and scraping. After the sanding and scraping has completely removed the crack ed or alligatored paint from the surface, brush the area thoroughly to remove dust and loose paint particles. Apply one coat of a good quality undercoat paint. Allow the undercoat paint to dry thoroughly and then apply a second coat of a top quality house paint of the desired color. This will com pletely correct the problem. For more information, contact your county extension service, 875-3461.
