The first day of spring is March 20

far north as they will go.

can vary from year to year.

Vernal translates to “new” and “fresh,” and equinox derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night).

So, what does that mean? Essentially, our hours of daylight—the period of time each day between sunrise and sunset—have been growing slightly longer each day since the winter solstice in December, which is the shortest day of the year, at least in terms of light. Even though we know that after December 21, the days start getting steadily longer, we still see more darkness than light over the course of a day in those three months leading up to spring. The vernal equinox marks the turning point when daylight begins to win out over darkness. At this moment, the direct rays of the Sun are shining down on the equator producing the effect of equal day and night.

After the vernal equinox, the direct rays of the Sun migrate north of the Equator (with hours of daylight steadily growing longer) until they finally arrive at the Tropic of the Cancer (latitude 23.5 degrees north).

The migration of the Sun’s direct rays comes to a halt on that day; this is as

NC Wildlife resources extends Deer Season in Cleveland County

We call this the summer solstice (solstice is a suspension of the migration of the Sun’s direct rays).

It is the longest day of the year in terms of hours of daylight.

After the summer solstice, the direct rays proceed to head south, and the days begin to grow shorter.

It will take another three months, until the autumnal equinox for the periods of daylight and darkness to reach equilibrium once again.

The rays ultimately reach the Tropic of Capricorn (latitude 23.5 degrees south) on the day of the winter solstice and the whole cycle begins again.

There are a few reasons why seasonal dates

The first is…

• A year is not an even number of days, and neither are the seasons.

• Earth’s elliptical orbit is changing its orientation (skew), which causes the its axis to constantly point in a different direction, called precession.

Since the seasons are defined as beginning at strict 90-degree intervals, these positional changes affect the time the earth reaches each 90-degree location in its orbit around the sun.

Second, the pull of gravity from the other planets also affects the location of Earth in its orbit.

The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission voted at its business meeting Feb. 23 to adopt eight proposed rules related to wildlife management for the 2023-24 seasons. The proposed fisheries, game lands regulations for the 2023-24 seasons will be considered at an upcoming Commission meeting. Highlights of the rules adopted by Commissioners include:

Deer Either-Sex Seasons: Increased either-sex seasons on private lands in the following counties in the Western and Northwestern Zones:

• Madison County will increase from a 1-day “introductory” to a 6-day “conservative” season (opening day through 1st Saturday).

• Burke, Yancey, Mitchell, Avery and Caldwell counties will increase from a 6-day “conservative” to a 13-day “moderate” season (opening day through 2nd Saturday).

• Polk, Rutherford, and Cleveland counties will increase from a 2-week “moderate” to a 4-week season (opening day through 4th Saturday).

Wildlife Conservation Areas: Changed the dates and areas of restricted access on portions of Wildlife Conservation Areas that are posted as Waterbird NestSee DEER, Page 8B shifts in the residential homes. If interested apply in person at 203 Lee St, Shelby NC.
