Abstract:
For one hundred years, deer hunters have come to Council, North Carolina, to commune with nature and enjoy the fellowship of other outdoorsmen at the North State Game Club. The club was founded in Bladen County in 1906 by John Council, who had founded the Council Tool Company in 1886. Both the company and the club are still in operation. The club owns and leases a little over 6,000 acres for hunting in Bladen County. However, hunting is just one small part of the fun the hunters enjoy.

Abstract:
Shackleford Banks is the only major North Carolina barrier island that is protected as a wilderness area and prohibits vehicles. Wild horses live on the nine-mile island. Legend says the animals are descendants of horses that survived Spanish shipwrecks. They can be documented on the island for 200 years. In 1998, Congress passed legislation requiring that the herd be at least one hundred horses and be co-managed by the National Park Service and the Foundation for Shackleford Horses. Jenkins discusses how the co-management arrangement is working.

Abstract:
Of North Carolina's forty freshwater fishing records, ten were set over twenty-five years ago. These include the bluegill at four pounds, five ounces; American (white) shad at seven pounds, fifteen and one-half ounces; and the channel catfish at forty pounds, eight ounces. Scott Van Horn, head of the North Carolina Division of Inland Fisheries' Habitat Conservation Program, discusses why these forty records have stood the test of time.

Abstract:
The endangered Virginia big-eared bat hibernates for the winter in an abandoned Surry County iron mine. The Cranberry Iron Mine ceased operation in the mid-1960s, and the bats took up residence. To protect the bats during their hibernation, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has installed gates resembling farm gates over the five mine entrances.

Abstract:
What goes on half a mile under the sea off the coast of North Carolina? To find out, researchers from UNC Wilmington, the U.S. Geological Survey, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, and other interested groups are investigating deep coral reef communities off the state's coast. Three expeditions spanned six weeks in the summers of 2002, 2003, and 2004. Jenkins discusses what has been learned to date.

Abstract:
Since kudzu, the so-called “plant that ate the South,†was introduced in the 1930s, other non-native fish, animals and plants are beginning to make their presence known in North Carolina. Many of the plants are Asian in origin and include Chinese silvergrass and Chinese privet. Other invasives include hydrilla and giant salvinia. Plants spread to open lands and clog waterways. Once established, they are almost impossible to remove mechanically. Fishermen sometimes move fish from one area to another in hopes of creating a new fishery, and in so doing, often create a new problem. Jenkins discusses this problem of invasives and their affect on the composition of the state's flora and fauna over the next fifty to one hundred years.

Abstract:
The 2004 wild turkey spring harvest season reports a drop of 10 percent. In 2003, there were 9,862 turkeys harvested compared to 8,846 in 2004. Only thirty-four of the state's one hundred counties reported increased kills over last year. Heavy rainfall and poor turkey reproduction were contributing factors. Wilkes County was the top county for turkey kills with 365 reported.
