I suggest the same as Ridge Runner, find out where they are feeding. If Virginia has been in a drought like TN has it might be a bit tricky to find their food source. Also, buy a copy of Wayne Carlton's Callin' Bears. I am going to trycalling bears with a wounded cottontail callthis year because of the drought. I think that the bears might have a bit more predator in them this year. You can use it to your advantage but make sure you are ready and have a buddy hinting with you.
