Deer season is starting this weekend! So to remind all of you who hunt, chronic wasting disease (CWD) was found this year in buck harvested in Yadkin County. Due to this, there are certain requirements that are MANDATORY for harvesting deer from areas located in Alleghany, Davie, Forsyth, Iredell, Stokes, Surry, Wilkes, and Yadkin counties. I am a CWD licensed individual, & would be happy to answer any questions or concerns about your harvest this year! Just call or text! As always, stay safe, have fun & always call your local warden if you see anything suspicious!

To all my deer hunters, CWD is not well known to NC. Our wildlife team, and taxidermist like me, have worked hard to keep a look out for this disease. Now that it has found it’s way to NC, hunters should also be on the lookout for these deer when harvest season comes back this year. To learn more about what to look for or to understand what I look for in the shop, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions! Your local game warden can also be a helpful person as well! Good luck to all the hunters out there, and as always, be safe!

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Friends and family will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend... it’s one of the hardest things you will try and balance

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

I copied this from another small business owner that I support and they support us.
