Either Sex Shooting
Boosts Deer Kill
Despite a sharp drop west of the Blue Ridge, the 196263 Virginia deer kill hit a new record mark of 38,701, an increase 2,585 over the previous high ma^k of 36,166 set two years ago. The increase could be attributed almost entirely to the liberal either sex seasons which were in effect in all but two of the eastern counties. The 24 counties which jumped from bucks only seasons in 1961-62 to either sex shooting last year showed a gain of nearly 10,000 in the number of deer killed. Although this was spectacular, either sex shooting usually yields 3 to 4 times the harvest achieved with bucks only seasons. Not so spectacular but probably more important to the deer hunter was the fact that 30 eastern counties which had liberal either sex seasons in 1961-62 as well as last year, the kill nearly held its own dropping from 10,767 to 19,660. Technicians point to this as strong evidence that either sex shooting can continue at this rate in future years without decimating the herd. The most spectacular increases were noted in Albemarle, Amelia, Buckingham, Charles City, Fluvanna, New Kent, Nottoway, Powhatan and Prince Edward Counties where the kill more than tripled. A marked increase occurred in 12 more of the 55 counties which comprise
the^. Eastern portion of the
Biolcfg*fs\s report that range conditions are good throughout most of Eastern Virginia and should continue to support high kills like these chalked up this year.
