narvest in comparison to west of the Blue Ridge. West of the Blue Ridge either-sex turkeys can be harvested.
Leading counties west of the Blue Ridge: Bath—423; Giles in the southwest with 268; Rockbridge—241; Botetourt—235; Augusta—233; Alleghany—229. East of the Blue Ridge, with the restricted season, Buckingham led with 57; Amelia — 47; Cumberland—40; Caroline—38; Halifax—36. Generally speaking, we had a better hatch statewide this year than we had in the spring of 1976. However, the best reproduction we had this year was in the southwest counties where we had ratios as high as one hen to every seven young juvenile turkeys, which is a real astounding reproductive rate.”
