When I was in VA, you were able to hunt both bow and shotgun, with a certain amount of deer with each tag, plus a doe requirement as well... I think the total with both liscense was 7 deer a year. That was awesome...

My thinking on this make your choice of weapon and live strictly by that choice was people throwing a fit that "bow hunters got more hunting time" so it wasn't fair - not for a moment thinking they too could pick up a bow... Anyhow... I would love to get a huge buck, but I'm in it for the meat - if it were allowable for you to hunt both seasons (bow and modern), I'd chase a trophy with my bow, and failing that, I'd get my meat w/modern.

Nascar - that listing was actually e-mailed to me.
