Abstract:
Over-hunting and habitat destruction eliminated the Eastern elk from the Smoky Mountains by the mid-1800s. Now the National Park Service seeks to introduce the Manitoban elk, a close relative of the extinct Eastern elk, to the Smoky Mountains National Park. In February 2001, twenty-five elk were released. Another twenty-five will be released in 2002 and 2003. If the species can sustain itself over a five-year period, it will be allowed to remain.

Abstract:
The wild turkey has made a remarkable recovery in North Carolina. From a low of 2,000 in 1970, wild turkeys now number 130,000 and are found in all one hundred of the state's counties. To better manage restoration, the state dropped the fall hunting season in 1972, and instituted a spring one. Powell discusses the possible return of the fall season.

Abstract:
North Carolina's quail population is declining. A study conducted at North Carolina State University put to rest some long-held assumptions and pinpointed a main cause. Pesticides and predators were proven to be less of a direct cause than had been thought, with loss of habitat being the chief reason for the decline.

Abstract:
Powell discusses black bear hunting in eastern North Carolina. Conservation has raised the bear population to an all-time high, with 7,000 bears in the East and around 4,000 in the West. Eastern bears are able to forage in farming areas, and this ready food supply creates large animals in the 500 to 600 pound range. The largest black bear taken weighed 880 pounds. The bear has now replaced the deer as North Carolina's big game animal.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Wildlife Commission uses old Christmas trees to create fish habitats in lakes; however, the trees soon decay. In the summer of 2000, the agency began a study to determine whether manmade structures or woody vegetation are better fish attractors. Sutton Lake in New Hanover County is the site of the study.

The auditorium in the Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education near Brevard was named in honor of the late Beatrice H. Barsantee. Born in 1907, Barsantee, a resident of Hendersonville, left one-fourth of her estate to the North Carolina Wildlife Commission for the purpose of conservation education. The money helped start the center, which is now in its fifth year of educating the public about wildlife.

Abstract:
A 1999 survey of colonial waterbirds along the coast indicates a decline in eight species. They are the black skimmer, gull-billed tern, Forster's tern, black-crowned night heron, glossy ibis, tricolored heron, snowy egret, and the common tern, which had the greatest decline. Loss of habitat, caused by rapid coastal development, is thought to be the cause of the decline.

Abstract:
In the early part of the 20th-century, wealthy Northern sportsmen purchased large tracts of marshland in North Carolina for use as their own private hunting preserves. Farseeing individuals on the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and other groups made purchases of waterfowl areas for public use. Powell gives a short summary of each of the following duck hunting areas: Currituck Sound, Albemarle Sound, Pamlico Sound, Lake Mattamuskeet, Pamlico River, the Piedmont, and southeastern Coastal Plain. \r\n
