Do we need to make reservations at Conman's Campground?

STOBBER · August 13, 2007, 09:57:00 PM

I never had a problem finding a camping spot without reservations...the cottages surely need a reservation though. It's 15.00 a day for campsites..i'm sure Mike would reserve one for though.Look forward to seeing you there!

Hey Allan......did ya ever put those copperheads to use?
Where ya been hidin' ?

STOBBER · August 14, 2007, 10:10:00 PM

Hey everybody...you can do a GOOGLE on Conmans guide service. All the info you need.

ber643 · August 14, 2007, 11:12:00 PM

I reserved one for last year but it was just to make sure I got near Tim's site. It isn't that big that it would have mattered that much but it did make it easier for coming and going.

STOBBER · August 15, 2007, 08:30:00 AM

Mike is preety laid back....... most times he'll let ya put up 2 tents per site as long as theres no more than 3or4 people.

Thought you might like to see the NEW Law:

FERAL HOGS: Feral Hogs may be hunted year round on private properties with any legal weapon, except on Sunday, in all 94 counties where the Wild Boar season is not in effect. Feral Hogs may be hunted on NC Gamelands on any day when a season for ANY game animal is open. For example, they may be hunted during squirrel season, turkey, rabbit, raccoon, oppossum,deer, duck (waterfowl), bear season.. on gamelands where and when hunting is permitted for any game animal. This rule is in effect now. Feral Hogs may be baited on private lands, but not on game lands. There is no law preventing it at this time except on game lands where it is illegal to bait. Also, Feral Hogs can be hunted at night. Col. Everhart (NCWRC) says, "They are not regulated by the WRC so we do not have any rules prohibiting hunting them at night."

42WLA · August 15, 2007, 09:23:00 PM

Oh yea! Didn't you guys see hogs last year?

STOBBER · August 17, 2007, 08:44:00 AM

Most of the guy's saw hogs...Ricky shot a small one but it hit the swamp and disappeared, Anaconda prolly ate it...either that or the Auca indians carried to the village. Sorry, i get carried away sometimes ...the place is so remote it's easy to let yer imagination run wild. Theres a coupla pics earlier in the thread with some hogs.

steveB. · August 19, 2007, 09:56:00 PM

Woodduck · August 20, 2007, 11:13:00 PM

EDITED: NO PUNGO HOG HUNTING

STOBBER · August 21, 2007, 10:29:00 AM

No offense Steve...but i know you.
The bears and coyotes would just throw you back out......too many bones for theyre appetite.(LOL)

steveB. · August 21, 2007, 09:25:00 PM

thats just wrong man....

42WLA · August 22, 2007, 06:49:00 PM

Fellas,

I got the new hunting regs for the Pocosin Lakes NWR today. Some highlights...

Feral hogs are not legal in the Pungo unit but legal in all other units. In the Frying Pan unit you can hunt them in any season including small game hunting.

Pungo gun hunt dates....
Sept 21/22 - 28/29, Oct 5/6 - 19/20 and 26/27 as part of the State "Special Hunt Opportunities" permits.

You can enter the hunting areas 1 1/2 hours before legal shooting times and stay 1 1/2 hours after except the Pungo Unit the time is only 1 hour before and after. (So no night pig hunting)

Pungo is "Bow only" (but no hogs)

Must have a "Refuge General Hunting Permit" to hunt. That is the brochure they sent me just sign the section on the front cover.

Woodduck · August 23, 2007, 12:58:00 AM

Thanks, 42WLA.
Sounds like Pungo is different from Game Lands. I did not think of that.

Sure don't want to get in trouble. I have never been to Pungo.

STOBBER · August 23, 2007, 11:51:00 AM

You can also get the hunting permit brochure at the rangers station, Conmans guide service /store/ campground or just get one from any game officer. You can request them by mail but i always get mine on arrival at the campsite.

42WLA · August 23, 2007, 05:09:00 PM

I got a sharp machete and two thermacells. I hope I can hook up with one of you guys who can show me the ropes. It will be my first time in over a decade hunting anything.

STOBBER · August 23, 2007, 06:08:00 PM

I look forward to it Dave...it's a very unique area to hunt. Not much to it...if were diffulcult i'd quit(LOL)! The terrain can be a tad diffucult in some areas. Most of the time we just set up in the high weeds by the trails and ambush whatever comes by, lot's of good stalking opportunities.
Most of all , we just have fun !

J-dog · August 23, 2007, 08:26:00 PM

I have not bben up to pungo yet but in my area (Carteret,/Jones county) the skeeters aint been to terrible in the woods, they are worse by the house.

Actually NO problems in the woods, no therme-cell, bug tamer, or buyg juice used or needed. So hopefullt you crew be alright.

I have me some big bears scouted out, on the croatan (deep). Hopefully I will get my first with my curve this year.
