Abstract:
There has been a decline in quail and seventeen other bird species associated with farming and weedy, grassy, brushy habitats in North Carolina and other Southeastern states. Bromley, Bill Palmer, and Marc Puckett investigated whether pesticides and drainage ditch management were possible causes. Results are reported. Also included is a set of nine questions, which the author says will be a large, complex research project seeking to account for the decline, and which he hopes will be answered by the end of the century.

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:
Squirrels are still a favorite game animal for many North Carolina hunters, and they are found in all three of the state's geographic divisions. The squirrel is a small, tough, and agile creature, and getting it requires good basic hunting skills. Padgett describes hunting seasons and ways landowners can attract squirrels to their property.
