Abstract:

"A recently conducted turkey ecology study provided new insight into turkey behavior that will benefit management for years to come." Only a few decades ago, wild turkeys were hard to find in North Carolina and across much of the U.S. Though restoration efforts between 1953 and 2005 were quite successful, recently a number of states in the southeast have seen declines. As a result of the Turkey Ecology Project, regular turkey hunting season in North Carolina will no longer open before April beginning in 2026.
