Late yesterday the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries released preliminary figures for bear, deer, and turkey harvests for the 2007 fall seasons. Here’s part of the press release:

Several notable results of the 2007-2008 hunting season stand out. Deer harvests reached a record high this past season but even more importantly the doe harvest was greater than the buck kill for the first time since the check station system was initiated in 1947. The bear harvest was the second highest kill documented in Virginia and continues to show an increasing trend over the past decade. The fall turkey kill also increased over last year, an encouraging change considering turkey production has been poor in recent years.
