Abstract:

The comeback of wood duck populations in the eastern U.S. qualifies as a major wildlife management success story. In 1993 biologists banded over 2,500 wood ducks in the Tuckertown and Pee Dee River reservoirs as part of a new wildlife management program.

Abstract:

The growing whitetail deer population peaked at over a million in 1995. At the same time the state population is increasing and urbanizing. The challenge for wildlife managers is to find a balance between the two.

Gannon, Renee

Abstract:

Overhunting and increasing human population brought about the decline of the wild turkey across the country from millions to around 30,000 at the start of the 20th-century. The National Wild Turkey Federation sponsors Target 2000, a project that seeks to restore the wild turkey nationwide by the year 2000. By April, 1999, the state's wild turkey population will reach 100,000, with habitats in all 100 counties.

McDowell, Bodie

Abstract:

A rule change by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission for the 1999-2000 hunting season required hunters to record their harvests on a Big Game Harvest Report Card instead of tagging wild turkey, bear, deer, and boar as in past seasons. The Division of Wildlife Management uses this data to determine a species population status before it sets bag limits for the next season.

Abstract:

Some of the state's declining species, including black bear, deer, wild turkey, and bald eagle, made remarkable recoveries during the 20th-century. The challenge of the 21st-century will be to protect and conserve wildlife in a time when population, urban sprawl, and intolerance for wildlife are increasing.

Earley, Lawrence S.

Abstract:

Early-successional habitats are areas of a mountain forest that are beginning to recover from events like fires, storms, or logging. First come grasses, then shrubs, and finally trees. All of these stages are important to wildlife survival. Earley discusses the value of early-successional habitats for mountain wildlife, their growing rarity, and what steps are being taken to maintain them.

Abstract:

The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission's program to promote black bear, turkey, and deer populations has been phenomenally successful. Now the agency is starting a five-year program called Cooperative Upland-Habitat Restoration and Enhancement, or CURE. Powell describes the program which will promote small-game populations like quail.
