Wilburn Waters (1812-1879) was a one-man wildlife exterminating machine, earning money from, and eating, the animals that he killed. He was praised by Appalachian farmers for single-handedly wiping out the wolf population along the North Carolina-Tennessee state line (It has never recovered). During the Daniel Boone-craze of the 1950's, a monument to Waters was erected in Tuckerdale, NC.
