North Carolina hunters will sport bright orange as they venture into the woods to hunt deer.
To save life and limb, it pays to be educated on how to both reduce the chances of hazardous encounters and preserve the wildlife in our area.
Local nonprofit organization CLAWS is striking a balance between hunters and wildlife preservation.
The sport of deer hunting is one of the oldest and most respected Southern traditions.
Rising deer populations in many states have bolstered the sport, encouraging the time-honored “thrill of the kill” mentality.
However, wildlife experts believe that human activities like these are responsible for many of the risks to the human population.
CLAWS works to educate the public on such risks while rescuing wild animals endangered throughout the county.
The organization is involved with rehabilitating several species of wildlife, including 47 deer at their Orange County facility.
CLAWS founder Kindra Mammone shares her strong mission to educate and protect animals with a balanced support of the hunting community.
