Abstract:
One of the state's noblest traditions--quail hunting--is in danger of extinction. Prior to the 1970s, more than 175,000 hunters came to the state and harvested between 2.2 and 2.8 million quail. During the 1995 season only 28,000 hunters harvested 225,000 quail. Jones discusses reasons for the decline and whether it can be reversed. In the state quail are declining at 6.2 percent per year from 1982 to 1991.

Abstract:
Pen-raised quail are useful for training dogs and for stocking on heavily used, controlled-shooting preserves. However, there is as yet no documented evidence that the release system results in long-term quail restoration. The writer says the best way to restore quail is to restore the habitat first.

Abstract:
Nightly sounds of the Eastern Whip-poor-will have not been as common as they once were, and the reason for the decline is not clear. The bird is poorly documented by traditional long-term monitoring methods. Biologists lack basic information about the current distribution, relative abundance, and population trends. Kelly discusses ways the state is now collecting data and how land management can assist in maintaining the bird.

Abstract:
In 1948 the state's wild turkey population was around 10,000. By 1970 it had bottomed out at about 2,000. Restoration efforts brought turkeys back to their current population of 260,000 all across the state. However, there is cause for concern over an occurrence known as the Southeast Wild Turkey Decline. For some reason turkey productivity is going down in a number of Southern states. In Arkansas the population has dropped by 100,000 since the early 2000s. North Carolina for the moment has not experienced decline but as Stanford reports it's a time bomb waiting to happen.
