4 counties in VA have an antlerless season from Jan 5th thru March 28. These counties are extremely populated with deer. Fairfax, Fauquier, Loudoun and Prince William. I assume the counties and VA DGIF believe this is a more effective way to control the herds. Getting a 2 for1 or even a 3 for 1 kill ratio, since the majority of does will be pregnant. This extended anterless season is not for me and for many others. I would rather suggest Sunday hunting or aseason long doe season. I'll leave it to the non hunting bureaucrats to decide.
