ok sorry for the delayed response. but i was stating the september to march seasons for the certain areas in va not for fauqier. as far as the hunt club, i ran into problems with insurance issues with the land owners. and with the fact that i did not want to sign a contract accepting full liability which is what the land owners wanted. if i was doing it for a profit making business then i would take the risk but i wasnt making anything on it so the risk out weighed the rewards if that makes any sence. now as far as the crossbow and night hunting goes, i have takled to quite a few individuals in the area who are game wardens,and police and they all expect the same thing this year, and that is an increase in poaching due to the new law. and yes i have shot crossbows and personally i dont like them. but im not going to take the side of those that say its a lazy way to bow hunt etc. because the compound bow and all the advances in the compound bow makes it just as easy versus traditional methods. my dislike for crossbows is just that i dnt like them. i also think that too many people buying them now are going to buy the cheapest ones they can just to hunt with them and they can be very dangerous to the operator. i know guys that have lost fingers and such. but from what im hearing from the wardens i know and others is that this law was passed to see what it does for the state and it will be reversed if it doesnt produce excellent results as far as deer population control or revenues to the state. so in other words if they dont see alot of money it will go off the books just as easy as it went on so dont get too attached to that new crossbow.
