Default You have some problems in North Virginia

You have picked the wrong place to hunt and know virtually no place to hunt instate. It's not only a metro area, it has many new residents looking for their new place to hunt and fish.

A recommendation. Do it yourself. Use the internet and search -hunting Virginia. Read and find locations on a map.
Every free location is listed, whether it is military, state game lands, national forest, refuges, or army corps of engineer land.

Find all the free areas in North Virginia. Check all of the wildlife management areas in north Virginia. Set how far from your residence you will travel. The closest place might just be the worst place to select. Another place might be closer and not hunted because of difficulties. Difficulties a newbie, of course, wouldn't want to face.

How much of a newbie are you? Can you scout and hunt a new area? Will you hunt alone? How are you with a compass and gps? Are you in shape for steeper climbs? A lot of unanswered questions on what kind of hunting you can do

Years ago I ran into some people from Washington, who fished in Pennsylvania. They told nobody where they fished, even in Pennsylvania. And I mean nobody.

Good luck. You will need it.
