Abstract:
The decline of quail throughout their range is widespread, and it's a big problem that does not come with easy answers. The required habitat changes are expensive and difficult to achieve because changes would impact large acreages of mostly privately owned lands. Without enough habitat to reverse the trend, hunters have proposed other solutions to the decline.

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.
