VAbowman, I highlighted a few things from the VA regs that I think help you.

Muzzleloading shotguns, muzzleloading rifles or archery tackle may be used to hunt during the firearms seasons where not prohibited

When hunting any game species during the firearms deer season, every hunter or person accompanying a hunter shall wear a blaze orange

Blaze orange is not required during the muzzleloading deer season(s)

Hunters hunting with archery tackle during an open firearms deer season, in areas where the discharge of firearms is prohibited by state law or local ordinance, are exempt from the blaze orange requirement.

If hunting with archery tackle or muzzleloading rifle during the firearms deer season you do not need an archery, crossbow or muzzleloading license.
