Here is what the PA biologist says:

So Virginia had a 34% mortality on hens by illegal killing during the spring gobbler season
So some states do set seasons to minimize hens being shot. Imagine that!
Virginia did not have a 34% mortality on hens by illegal killing during the spring season. It was 34% of the mortality. Big difference. Where is a link to the Virginia study and how many dead hens were in the sample pool?
