You get 3 either sex tags and 3 antlerless tags with your big game license. Plus after you've used all 6 you can buy bonus antlerless tags which is 2 tags for $10. Also, i have access to land that gets 50 dmap tags assigned to it, which is separate from big game tags. If have land to hunt in certain areas of virginia, you can antlerless bow hunt from beginning of sept to the end of march. Too many deer in Va!

Back home now. Before I left the property today, I did another walkabout and disappointingly found nothing. I totaled 9.5 hours looking for this deer. Saturday morning was quite a morning and nothing happened until 8:00. The buck I shot was the first deer I saw of the day. Shortly after that, I shot a doe and could have easily shot its companions. They just hung around snorting. Around the same time a 7 pt chased another doe past my stand and he stopped broadside at 20 yards to see why all the commotion. A cow horn strolled up the hill as the 7 pt left. I've seen the cow horn all three days, he's got the sense of a stupid juvenile! While following my bucks blood trail, I came across numerous fresh scrapes. One of the doe I shot had that glandular odor, that and all the scrapes makes me wonder if this is some type of early rut. Even though I didn't find him, I still consider this hunt a success! Hopefully, he's still alive and will limp by me in the near future!

I got a bad sign this evening!!! Just after a doe winded me an all black tomcat climbed up in the blown down tree with me, I let him get about 4 ft. away before I showed him my teeth. Sorry to hear about your lost buck Ufunny2. You'll get him next time!!

Good luck to you and the rest of the team. Sunday night I harvested a doe. It was a good feeling. I seen three bucks total over the weekend but the biggest I saw was a 2.5 year old 8 pt. and he was way too far.
