RE: VA Hunting Situation?
The biggest thing about hunting in VA versus NH, is you can't hunt on Sundays... [:@]
I agree with the others about public land hunting. It is really hunted hard, the worst of it is on Saturdays. Some wildlife management areas (WMA's) are okay, others are tolerable, and then others are downright scary with the amount of hunters per square mile! The state forests and national forests are the better option.
Private land is a hot commodity and hard to come by. But if you can get into a club, then you'll be a little better off than public land hunting.
