Abstract:

R. Wayne Bailey was instrumental in bringing the wild turkey population of North Carolina back from the brink. In 1970, there were only 2,000 wild turkeys in the state; now, there are over 265,000. Author T. Edward Nickens pays homage to Bailey while detailing his own experiences with wild turkeys.
