Default RE: virginia hunting

as far as a part of the state to recommend it just depends on what you want. Virginia has swamps, its got Mountains, Low land, Peidmont, and Suburban Sprawl, big woods, and big fields. Take your pick.

the south eastern portion of the state is flat, with lots of agriculture and thick deep woods. As said dogs are used on various farms throughout this area, but it as also pruduces some monsters that go B&C.

The western portion of the state is Mountains, lots of national forest and big timber. Lots of mature deer to be found if your willing to put in the work.

The peidmont area tends to be rolling with broken up woods and fields, lots of great hunting.

The northern part of the state, also known as northern virginia is expensive, sprawled with houses, stores and people who cant drive. Its hard to find hunting land there, but if you do, you will find some true brutes, but you will also have deal with small lots, and lots of people, over a 1/3 of the states total population resides in a small 3 county area.

Good luck, and if your looking to move down to Virginia, the big trick is to find something you can afford and meets your needs. the game website for the state will give you big clues on which counties have high game kills, and long seasons. Also, take note on firearms ordiances, if you like using a rifle some counties might not be for you as they dont allow them. Also, look at the big buck competition every year, some counties always produce monsters, but dont have a high kill rate cause a lack of hunting pressure, this is a good thing.
