A proposed increase from 3 to 6 days doe season was made for counties in the Southern Piedmont. Also included was 2 days of doe shooting on both sides of the dog line splitting counties from Nelson through Pittsylvania plus Bedford.
A bag limit of two turkeys per year, one of which may be a hen in the fall, was proposed for those Eastern Virginia counties where fall hunting is allowed. Russell Co. in Southwest Virginia would be closed to fall turkey hunting due to low kills.
