Actually..........
Actually it is Bear season in Va during Deer season. Bear ends Nov 12 which is the last day of Deer muzzleloader season.
The bear that you will see though will be more warry of you than you will be of them. Most of the time you will never see one if you are walking thru the woods, but you have a good chance of seeing them if your in a stand, but once they get your scent... their gone!
