I agree with VaDeer, if you have private property to hunt on ML, Bow, Shotgun in NOVA area. If you choose to hunt bases Quantico (shotgun slugs only, bow) Fort Belvoir (bow olny). I'm in Dale City as well off Benita Fitzgerald/Cardinal Dr land to hunt on is the key in NOVA. I also agree with you about traveling too far just to hunt, I use to hunt in King George, Hopewell, Charles City now those were rides. Keep in touch.
