Question for Virginians

Can you legally hunt with a bow during gun season?

Taz..yes if you read the rules under the general deer season (i.e. gun season) it says you can legally use firearms, blackpowder or archery tackle.. although it would be nice if I still had a bow to use[:@]...

Sorry I am still a bit touchy... hope that helps TAZ

You can but you must follow any regulatios of that season, such as blaze orange or certain restrictions limiting what days does or bucks can be taken.

Taz,

Yes... A bow can be used all season long. Check the link and scroll down to the bottom for General Firearm season.

Thanks for the info, the reason I wanted to know is I have a few places I can hunt but they only will let me hunt with a bow.
