Its that time of year again... season is over for most of us , except for the lucky ones among us who have a place to hunt where they can participate in the Urban Archery Season!! For thos of us who dont have that luck we are left with small game and waterfowl for a couple more weeks. I do not know about you all but I am already starting to go stir crazy and drool at the thought of next season.
If you remember my post I made in here awhile back, it was Friends in Va or something close. Anyway I made a comment about looking for some leases of land for next year and there were a few of you that showed interest in it. Well I am going to be starting that project this weekend. I have some places already in mind to try to get into. Some I have hunted before with pretty good luck, and some I havent but the area around them is known to be pretty good. So I figure I would start with them and work from there.
I am going to try to get leases on a few different places. I will be looking first in the following areas : King George, Stafford, Spotsylvania, Caroline Counties. I will see what I come up with there and look outward if needed (Westmoreland, Essex, Loudon Etc...)
I am interested in seeing who all would be interested in forming a group or club how ever you wish to word it. If you are interested then let me know, I would like to know if these areas would interest you or do you have other areas in mind. I would also like to know if you want to keep it strictly bowhunting or follow the seasons or??? I am very open to any and all ideas on this. I feel that if we start early and everyone has an input and ideas are gone over by everyone this could be a awsome thing!!!! ALso if you know of any land that we might be able to rent then by all means lets talk.. I would love a mix of some farm land and some hardwoods and some swamp land to be able to change the style of hunting during the season and not be stuck in a swamp or in a farm (not that that would be a bad thing lol) all season. The wonderful thing about the area is that you can have all that either on one lease or several.
Please feel free to throw your hat into the ring and lets see what we can do with this..PLease voice any and all input both positive or negative so that we can work this out and get something going!! I was going to try to keep it a reasonable size group.. I already have me and my parents(yes mom hunts too!!!) and my brother, and probably a few friends.. depending on where it is. This would be a open invitation to all.. male and female... young and old..
One thing I would like to do is anyone with younger childeren who are teaching them to hunt or just want to bring them. they would be free ( the child) this would not be restrcited to actual childeren that are yours.. say you have a neighborhood kid or a nephew who wants ot hunt and no one to take them.. they would be the same.. I am for anything to get our youth hunting!!!

Sorry so long winded but figured I would lay this out there and see if we can run with it!!! I hope to hear from a good amount of you here in VA..

ps Taz I KNOW you will be one of the first to want in on this!!!! lol
