Every Thursday the News and Observer runs an outdoor section which is pretty good. In a day when many papers have long abandon the outdoors as a place to make cuts the N&O continues to run it weekly. I highlight articles from them often but I rarely point out how good it is to have a newspaper that still writes about hunting and fishing. Many times they pick up outdoor stories from other parts of the country like they did today with a turkey hunting story out of the Miami Herald.
They also feature local stories as well like this weeks story about NC State students learning how to shock fish to study the health of a lake.
If you have a local newspaper that devotes any type of coverage to the outdoor sports you should be grateful and supportive. So a tip of the hat to the N&O for writing about the great outdoors every week.
