BROWN -- 4
Public access for both guns and bows helped its score because harvests remain below those of 1998-2001. The three-year average kill is 34, and last year Brown gave up 38 birds, 84 percent to firearms.

CALHOUN -- 4
This area was also down considerably from 1999 (75 birds) with a harvest of 38 last year, showing only slight improvement from the 35 bagged each of the two previous years. Access is available for both firearms and bowhunters.

CARROLL -- 2
The fall harvest continues to decline here, with only 23 taken last year, including three with bow. The high is 90 in 2000. The only points awarded were for access, which is available to both archers and gunners.

CASS -- 4
The combined success from 16 archers and 44 gun hunters established a new fall harvest record here last year and bested the previous year by 33 percent. Public access keeps Cass high on the list.

CLARK -- N/A
With two years under the belt, this area is showing promise. The 2003 season gave up 20 birds -- three via arrow -- and last season saw 37 killed, including seven by bow. No public access is to be had.

CRAWFORD -- N/A
Two years of experience here resulted in more conservative numbers. Twenty-two birds fell in 2003 compared with 18 last season. Seven of those were by arrow. Access is available regardless of weapon choice.

FULTON -- 3
This is our third-highest producing county for the fall season, and it gave up 95 birds last year, including 36 with stick and string. It could score higher except that archers are the only hunters with public access.

GALLATIN-HARDIN -- 4
We're finally seeing a rebound in this area. Last season saw the best fall harvest (61) since 2001 (71). Access is available for both guns and bows, though only three archers filled their tags last fall.

GREENE -- 0
Last year saw their lowest fall harvest in seven years, with 42 going into the larder. Of those, nine were archery kills. Best year on record was 2000 when 78 tags were filled. No public access is available.

HANCOCK -- 4
The 2003 fall harvest dipped to 33 birds from what had been a two-year average of 42. Last year they recovered and, again, scored 42 turkeys. Eleven bowhunters helped reach that number. Gun and bow access is available on public land.

HENDERSON -- 3
Henderson is currently experiencing about half the harvest seen in 1999 and 2000, with a total of 18 birds last season. While access is available to both guns and bows on public land, archers were responsible for tagging only two toms last fall.

HENRY -- 1
The first year for data shows one bird apiece for archers and gunners. Public ground is available to bowhunters.

JACKSON -- 4
One of the few that set a new fall harvest record last year, this county gave up 51 turkeys, of which 80 percent was to the gun. Access is available to gunners and archers.

JASPER -- 4
Three years under the belt have provided an average fall harvest of 32.67 birds, and last year was their best with 40 in the fridge. Twelve of those fell to bow and arrow. Gunners and archers have public ground.

JEFFERSON -- 4
This is the second-highest producing county in our state's fall hunt, and they're doing great. Last year's take was 109 birds, 28 of which fell to the bow. That is double the number taken in 2000. Bowhunters and gunners have access to public land.

JERSEY -- 2
The three-year average harvest is 27 and last year gave up 26, evenly split between gunners and archers. Both also have public ground.
