Garbade’s General Store in Tarboro - If You Need It, Bill’s Got it
Posted by lowcountryhunting on June 6, 2008
There are so many great things about hunting here in the lowcountry, one of which is the people that you meet. And I don’t know of too many more interesting or nicer souls around here than Bill Carter.
Bill, a big-buck expert, runs Garbade’s General Store in Tarboro, right off of 321. Lots of hunters stop there and pick up their license, shells, gas and a snack as they pass by as well as get an up-to-date hunting report. They also probably get caught up looking at all of
the amazing mounts that he has in the store in addition to listening to his latest hunt. However once outside, they probably find it no easier to leave because of the many stands he has available to choose from.
I love stopping at Bill’s. He is truly a treasure trove of info on how to kill big deer as well as how to manage for them. And if you ever need anything that has to do with hunting, Bill’s got it. And if you need help killing that elusive buck on your lease, he may even offer to come to your place and show you how its done! LOL
Bill is also a firm believer in getting young people in the woods, and he really loves to set an example with his son, Josh. That is the two of them in the picture with their a couple of really nice lowcountry bucks (I copied the picture, so I apologize for the quality).
The lowcountry is truly lucky to have such an outdoorsman call this place home. If you get a chance on your way up
321, stop, pick up a stand and tell Bill that Jeff sent you.
