RE: Advice for a hunting trip next fall/winter
Good thinking Bass! I would consider going to one of the Nat'l Forests in VA. The GW or the TJ would work for you. You can get a topo map and talk to the VDGIF and they could help you pinpoint a place to hunt. The deeper you go, the less hunters you see. I have taken some nice bucks in both. If you are looking to get out of the state and hunt other game, you might look into a hog hunt down south somewhere. You can do that without a bunch of cash at some places. Good luck.
