KJHburg Posted December 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 Speaking of deer and other animals this story from the Charlotte Ledger sums it up here in Charlotte and the first ring counties of the metro. Deer are overpopulated on Hatteras Island too due to no hunting as most of the island is national park. We have a population boom of both humans and wild animals in Meck County and surrounding metro counties. Where the wild things are - The Charlotte Ledger (substack.com) If you don't subscribe to the Ledger you should. Great article about the explosion of wildlife in the urban and suburban areas. That is why coyotes are moving into the Charlotte area due to abundance of their food mainly deer. I have heard the howl of a coyote and yes it is bloodcurling when it is outside your house. in the middle of the night. In terms of black bears in NC the highest concentration in the world (yes world) is not in the mountains but in swamps and forest of inner banks area of NC of eastern NC think mainland Dare County, Tyrrell County, Hyde County, Washington and Pamlico counties etc. Biggest black bears in the world. So next time you on your way to the Outer Banks from Charlotte be aware of bears and they are not joking. I have seen one in the daylight at the edge of a field and forest.

Much too complex, busy and unreadable from any distance at all. I actually preferred the winning design (which was definitely the best of the final 6). I think they watered it down just a little too much in the final rendition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
