1st suggestion, be careful, it's ADDICTING! 2nd suggestion - find or lease private land to hunt. We've all hunted public land before and rarely is it as good as private property. Since so much of the land is leased up our way, your best bet is to join a club/lease that has corn fields, flooded timber, ponds, etc. There's a lot of bird activity in Loudoun & Fauquier Counties if that helps, plus they're real close-by!
