Hunting Opportunities NC - Relocation

The way you guys present Charlotte is terrifying lol
Some sort of a dysfunctional hellhole.

Yeah, private clubs are quite limited here in New England too. The waitlist is long and you got to be sponsored by someone. After the tragic event in Sandy Hook, the people started joining the gun or hunting clubs (many hunt clubs are also gun clubs here) to sabotage them and then get them closed. Many clubs responded by totally shutting down the memberships.
Admittedly, I never was too eager to join them, but when I inquired, I saw a lot of entry barriers erected.

The other challenge is, wherever I end up moving, my family won't be able to join me until the early September due to my wife's job. So, I am going to have to find a temporary place, such as Airbnb, where I can bring my two dogs with me and also leave them somewhere where I visit my family back in CT on weekends.
Moving sucks, when you are not single. I didn't know it until now.

Thanks everyone. I'll have to let them know by Wednesday, so I'll keep researching.

There is a bird dog trainer in Winston Salem roughly an hour from Charlotte, that might be a good place to board them if you cant find anything closer.

Up here no one will take our dogs because they haven't been fixed

I would venture to guess that those presenting it this way have never experienced living in New England. Everything is a matter of perspective. I live in the Greenville/Spartanburg area. I have recently purchased land and am building a house about an hour from here away from the ongoing sprawl. When I talk to people who live down near the new place, who grew up in that area, they talk about GSP in the same way. "Traffic is horrible" , "You couldn't pay me $1M to live there", etc. But, having lived in Atlanta, Houston, and New England, this is light years better than those places.

You’re not wrong. I had a brief affinity for visiting cities during a stint as a single man. Then 2020 happened and I came to view most cities as dystopian hellholes. It’s all relative and relative to the northeast Charlotte is probably a cakewalk.

Parts of it are...Google Garden Inn and Suites raid. CMP got 247 calls in 4 months. Thankfully the FBI and DEA came in raided it as CMPD was completely overwhelmed.
Don't forget about the random train stabbings and the st. take overs.
Ask AI if the city bus station is safe and see what you get.
At least the ICE raids clean up some of the homeless encampments in grass along the interstate exits thru town.

CMPD has started enforcing the city wide youth curfew..we will see how long it lasts.

I’ll clarify my response.

I live 8 minutes from a small town, and can count on one hand the number of times we have been bothered in the 14 years we have been here.

Bothered: If someone wakes me up messing around our property, I’m bothered.

My version of freedom, is quite country living with unlocked doors.
I would not be comfortable in a city, where the police don’t know me.
I would also feel uncomfortable handling situations like we do around here.

Most of the hunting clubs down here are not as exclusive as what you’re used to and they’re far more numerous. A little networking will open some doors and public is doable with some effort. Our population is exploding and demand is at an all time high but the guys that want to will find a way.

You're asking a bunch of outdoorsman what they think about a big city, this is typically the answer you're going to get. Haha.

I for one don't think Charlotte is too bad and saying that I've lived in DC and Virginia Beach, I've worked in Chicago, Atlanta, Austin, Detroit, etc.

Charlotte for a big city is relatively low crime and clean, and the traffic isn't too bad compared to Atlanta or DC. Decent food, decent sports scene and you're only 2 hours from the beach and mountains given which direction you travel.

All in all, there are much worse places.

IMO, one hotel and one incident doesn't make the entire city a shithole. Haha. Maybe that's just me, but I've lived in cities where public transportation crime is the norm, not the exception. Try riding the green line on the DC metro through Anacostia every day. It's been a while for me, but that area 20 years ago makes Charlotte today look like Mayberry.

Would you mind to elaborate?

Instead of moving to Charlotte, move to Rock Hill just south of Charlotte. It's much nicer. There's better hog hunting in SC as well.

If you have dogs that can track bears, you can find good bear hunting in the upstate of SC or western NC.

CAD / BIM drafting and modeling for large infrastructural and commercial projects such as tunnels, high-rise buildings and airports.

I run a Civil Engineering firm based in Charlotte. We primarily do bridge design. If you are ever interested in making the switch, hit me up.

Its way more than one hotel, thats just the latest example.
Cashless bond has turned it into a shithole...
There are still some nice areas but they are a lot smaller than they used to be and ridiculously expensive.
