Scoring week begins Jan. 11-16. The leagues shoot off and awards dinner is March 21. Sherwood will host the 1999 Virginia Bowhunters Association Sectional Indoor Championship Feb. 20 and 21. Anytime you need general information about the club or its events, a good contact is Jimmy Brugh, the vice president, 254-2490. Hunters in West Virginia reported killing 74,050 bucks during the recent firearms deer season, a drop of 28 percent from the previous year.
Several factors figure into the decline.
One was the weather, which was hot and dry. Most of the decline, which was expected, was due to the fact that hunters could kill antlerless deer during the season in 23 counties. The antlerless deer tally was 20,981. In the past, antlerless deer hunting has been separated from buck hunting. These figures do not represent the entire kill.
