Abstract:

The annual summer brood survey of wild turkeys, conducted by North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission biologists, found that the state had its second-poorest hatch ever in 2005. Only 53 percent of the hens had young turkeys. The worst year was 2003, when only 51 percent of the hens had young. Wilson discuses reasons for this and what effect the small birthrate will have on the hunting season.

Davis, Charles S.

Abstract:

Early explorers of North Carolina, including John White, Thomas Heriot, John Lawson, and Mark Catesby, spoke enthusiastically of the endless natural wealth they found. Their words made the early settlers think that the resources were unlimited. Starting with the 18th-century, Davis traces how man has exploited North Carolina's resources and what steps have been taken to preserve them. For example, since 1947 the state has had what is widely recognized to be one of the most effective fish and game management programs in the country.
