New Record Gobbler
Kill in 1970 Season
A preliminary total of 1,618 turkey tags from the 1970 spring season definitely establishes it as the 10th straight new record for this type of hunting since it began in Virginia in 1961, reports Game Division Field Coordinator C. H. Shaffer. The total count last year was 1,453 and game technicians expect over a hundred birds to be added to this year’s total before all tags are accounted for. Wythe County was the undisputed spring turkey hot spot with a total of 102 chalked up during the three week season. Augusta and Bath Counties vied closely for a second place rating with 60 and 61 birds respectively while Fauquier and Grayson Counties were credited with 55 each.
“Although hunters complained that gobbling activity was late this year, the kill figures indicate that there was no shortage of birds,” Shaffer said. The highest kills came from the Western Piedmont and Southwestern counties. The heaviest bird reported was a 28 pounder taken in Franklin County. Average weights were about 16 to 18 pounds.
