Abstract:

Since 1976, North Carolina has required hunters to report their big game harvest. Game managers use this information to make decisions affecting hunting seasons, bag limits, and other regulatory matters. Report Number 14 covers the 1989-1990 hunting season and lists statistics by counties for game harvests of black bear, white-tailed deer, wild boar, and wild turkey.

Abstract:

Coastal North Carolina is the only place on the Atlantic Coast where the piping plover both breeds and winters in significant numbers. Commercial gunning in the early 20th-century almost drove the bird to extinction, and recovery only started after shorebird hunting was regulated in 1918. Starting in the 1940s, coastal development and human activity sent the population spiraling down again. In 1986, the bird was added to the endangered species list. Current intensive management appears to be helping the plover recover.

Abstract:

Lyme disease is moving slowly from the Northeast into North Carolina. Rocky Mountain spotted fever still produces more illnesses in the state than lyme at the moment. Ticks transmit the disease, but state disease specialists have not yet identified the primary transmitter. Available evidence points to Lone Star and black-legged ticks. Both are common in the state.
