RE: Permission to hunt in VA?
I live in the Woodbridge area, but haven't been out this year yet, but I do know that you wouldn't want to step onto private property without anyon'es explicit permission. If you're caught, you'll have to prove who you know, and that's double the trouble, so don't go there. Game wardens in this state are no joke.
On another note, has anyone hunted the Phelps WMA yet? I had planned to bring my 30-06 down there for opening day deer season, but thought better of it and that I'd wait at least another week.
