Let me jump in here. I just joined HuntingNet.com and am new to the forum. I am currently living overseas, but will move to northern VA this summer. I will be a complete newbie to VA hunting--heck, I haven't hunted anything in over 10 years because I've been living in Asia during the hunting seasons. Since I will only be in VA for a year of language training before I transfer to Turkey in 2005, I have been desperately looking for a group of local hunters to show me the ropes and tell me where I might go find some deer. Your club/group proposal sounds very intriguing to me, but since I could only commit to the 2004-05 season, I was wondering if that might affect my eligibility for such a venture.

Anyway, I am looking forward to taking my two teenage sons out in the Virginia woods to look for deer, and maybe even bag one or two. We intend to participate in both the muzzleloader and the rifle seasons. Any advice on Virginia hunting would be greatly appreciated--sounds like you might be the right group of guys to ask. Thanks.
