Abstract:
In 1948 the state's wild turkey population was around 10,000. By 1970 it had bottomed out at about 2,000. Restoration efforts brought turkeys back to their current population of 260,000 all across the state. However, there is cause for concern over an occurrence known as the Southeast Wild Turkey Decline. For some reason turkey productivity is going down in a number of Southern states. In Arkansas the population has dropped by 100,000 since the early 2000s. North Carolina for the moment has not experienced decline but as Stanford reports it's a time bomb waiting to happen.

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.

Thirty years ago, the wild turkey was disappearing quickly from North Carolina. Now, after the Wildlife Resources Commission helped restock turkeys by taking them from overabundant areas to areas that were completely barren, the species is flourishing once again in North Carolina.
