Abstract:

The wild turkey has made a remarkable recovery in North Carolina. From a low of 2,000 in 1970, wild turkeys now number 130,000 and are found in all one hundred of the state's counties. To better manage restoration, the state dropped the fall hunting season in 1972, and instituted a spring one. Powell discusses the possible return of the fall season.
