Abstract:

When North Carolina’s archery season begins in September, a key factor for bow hunters’ success is deducing what local whitetail deer will be eating. Deer in northeastern North Carolina have a reputation for growing large due to the abundance of crops. Understanding what kind of food deer eat can help hunters determine hunting positions.

Abstract:

Over 5 percent (11,129) of all traffic accidents reported in North Carolina in 1997 involved deer/vehicle collisions. The majority of these occurred in the eastern half of the state. Hyde County, for example, reported that deer were involved in 40 percent of all accidents. Half of this kind of accident typically occurs in fall and early winter, and 75 percent happens between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. About 8 percent of drivers are injured, but most of the damage is sustained by the deer and the vehicle.

Abstract:

Taylor reports on the state's ongoing deer restoration project. The first serious attempts at restoration took place in the 1890s on the Biltmore Estate near Asheville. By the 1930s there were only a few thousand left in North Carolina. However, current work by the North Carolina Wildlife resources Commission has brought the statewide population back to between 400,000 and 500,000.
