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.
