Abstract:

Good nesting conditions over several years and the opening of five new hunting areas create the possibility for another record wild turkey harvest in 2001. In 2000, hunters killed 6,827 wild turkeys, which was a new North Carolina state record. So well has the turkey population increased that in fifteen of the last seventeen years, a state hunting record has been set.

Earley, Lawrence S.

Abstract:

Some fish, like the largemouth bass, are found in streams throughout the state. Others, like the Carolina madton, have a limited range because of geographical barriers or other factors. These latter fish are called endemic, and there are five species in the state: Carolina madton, Cape Fear Shiner, Waccamaw darter, Waccamaw killifish, and Waccamaw silverside.

Ashley, Keith W.

Abstract:

Hydrilla and alligator weed are two exotic plants that are getting a chokehold on the state's waterways. Hydrilla forms dense mats on waterways that prevent fishing and boating. Alligator weed functions in the same manner, but it can also establish itself on land with devastating effect. Ashley discusses what is being done to control these invasive plants.
