Have fun Hunting,always be safe and always point the barrel/muzzle in a safe direction,be careful where Your aiming and be aware of the back-stops where the bullet will hit and never shot over the horizon or towards building or at water where a bullet can richocette/reflect.
you're .308 will be more than fine for coyote, fox, & bobcat hunting. It will probably do a good deal of damage but IMO that's a good thing.

You can also look at VA/NC hunting seasons. You probably can hunt for squirrel, rabbits, and whatever other critters are up there. You definately would need a shotgun it a .22 for that though.
