What is the deal with driving through Holly Shelter? I’ve taken a nice scenic drive through there once but every time I have driven by or tried to go there the gates are closed? Are there certain days Or times of year you can get in?

I don't see why they lock the gates it's hunting season year around for predator hunters. if those are public land and we all pay taxes and pay for that land how come we can't access that land when we want to why do we have to deal with permits to go hunting game land because we the hunters allow it if we stand up and fight for our rights we'd be able to use that properly like we want as far as accessibility for public. I think we should vote to ban all the permit blocks. They take the best land and make damn near impossible to go hunt it. As a predator Hunter myself. It's wrong there are good spots to call and hunt in the game lands but it's a dictatorship of When where and how we can hunt it they are slowly taking all of our freedoms and constitutional rights away so please is my fellow hunters an outdoor enthusiast let's stand up let's fight for our right to be able to access our public lands

Go to North Carolina Game lands rules and regulations and look up Holly Shelter Game Lands. The regulations on entry times varies according to seasons and some areas are only legally accessible with a permit.

The gates are closed when it isn't hunting season.

Some of the roads are not able to be driven on because of the rain and the deer hunters mudding it up. The main road should be open to the impoundment
