Abstract:
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission restocks and relocates wild turkeys to suitable habitats. These activities have brought the state's wild turkey population to a forty-year-high. Several counties recently reported the finding of pen-raised turkeys in their fields and woodlands. Release of pen-raised birds can spread disease to the wild stock as well as weaken their ability to survive in the wild by interbreeding.

Abstract:
In much of North Carolina wild turkey hunting is a very unproductive sport. Only a few counties have turkey populations that are in good shape and able to increase the numbers in the flock. These flocks prosper only in areas where they are protected from indiscriminate hunting. Partin discusses reasons for the decline in the turkey population and its prospects for survival in the future.

Abstract:
Two problems confront wild turkey restoration in North Carolina. One is habitat fragmentation. At one time the wild turkey population stretched from Manteo to Murphy, but with expansion of human population much of the turkey's habitats have been eliminated or reduced in size. The second problem is public indifference. Cherry explores each of these problems and analyzes what must be done to keep wild turkeys from becoming extinct in North Carolina.

Abstract:
The wild turkey is numerous in some counties and nonexistent in others; however, nothing is known about what controls the turkey's distribution or various densities. Between 1934 and 1954, the state “lost†the wild turkey in fifteen counties, and the decline continues. To help to reverse this trend, the winter hunting season was recently abolished. Bailey discusses reasons for this.

Abstract:
North Carolina's wild turkey population, currently at 5,000, is the lowest among the Southeastern states. This number exists only because the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission began a project in 1971 to restore the turkey to its old habitats. Waldorf discusses the progress made on this project and what needs to be done to stop habitat destruction.

Abstract:
The wild turkey population in North Carolina has more than tripled in the past twenty-five years, with the help of restoration efforts by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. Wild turkeys are found throughout the state, with the largest populations in the Roanoke River basin, Camp Lejeune, and Caswell County areas. Despite their growing numbers, the North Carolina turkey hunting season remains from April 10 to May 8.
