Western Deer Kill
' Slightly Down
A harvest of 10,804 deer during the two week western deer season represents a decrease of 588 in that area from the number bagged last year, according to Game Commission big game tag records. Most of the decrease occurred in the central mountain section, and apparently resulted from, the Game Commission’s decision to move the antlerless deer day from the first to the last of the season to reduce the doe harvest. The doe kill was about half the number taken the year before. The buck kill increased noticeably. Most southwestern counties with a bucks only season showed moderate increases in kill.
Bath County was again tops with a kill of 1,543. Rockingham County stayed in second place with a kill of 1,216 followed by Augusta County with 937. Both Augusta and Bath were down over 200 animals from last year’s totals.
The season was apparently a good one for the state’s bowhunters who bagged 198 deer in western counties as opposed to 185 from this section last year.
