coryj checking in.
I'm 28 and live in Virginia. I hunt a couple counties including Louisa, Madison, Orange, Albemarle, and Greene. Some properties I've hunted for 5 years and some are new this year. I'm already hunting does on a damage permit and have 2 big mature does already and I've seen some nice bucks too. I saw some good ones last year, but didn't connect. About the only way I would have killed a buck last year was if it was the first thing to walk past the stand, I'll be more patient this year.

Good luck!
