At least one antlerless deer must be taken on private lands

Prince William, or Roanoke counties before the second

antlered deer of the license year may be taken on private

lands in any of these counties. Furthermore, at least two antlerless deer must have been taken on private lands in Bedford,Fairfax, Fauquier, Franklin, Loudoun, Patrick, or Prince William counties before the third antlered deer of the license year may be taken on private lands in any of these counties. For more information go to page 31 or online at www.Hunt-FishVA.com.

At least it's a start.

personally i think the antler rest. here in pa are great. i have no problem even tho every other year i dont see any good reason for it. im sure there is an argument but why no go with it every year.

Here is a link to an interesting study of antler restrictions in Texas.

NEW--that is a start! TY for listing that info, I had no idea. Thank goodness I hunt federal land. If people follow the system it will really benefit all of the surrounding areas I hunt on the base...it borders two of the counties on the list you posted..Fauquier, and PW.
