Default RE: Anyway, I am going.

In Virginia, concerns about legal liability forhunters prompted theVirginia General Assemblyto adoptVirginia Code Section 29.1-509 in 1982. This law exempts landowners who provide "recreation"(aka: hunting) opportunities to the public from liability or injury, or damages providing:

landowner does not charge a fee other than that necessary to cover taxes and
there is no gross negligence or "willful or malicious failure to guard or warn against a dangerous condition, use or structure" on the property.

This code helpsproperty ownerswith liability, butlandowners should always consider insuring the property subject to casualty and obtain comprehensive liability insurance.
