Mine use to require you to put your name and address on the arrow but they did away with that. yea like poachers would

We have to shoot 6 grains per pound of draw weight. (That means 420 grains at 70#)

We aren't allowed to use mechanical broadheads.

We aren't allowed to use broadheads with serrated blades. (Magnus Stinger Buzzcuts)

We can't use lights on our sights.

We can't use Lumenocks.

We're only allowed one deer per hunter, per year.

We can bait deer and elk, but not bear.

I could keep going, but...

One deer per year? Yikes! Maybe Virginia is not so bad after all.

In our team thread Southdakotahunter was saying how the max cutting diameter he can have is 1 7/8. Do they not want you to be able to kill deer quicker and more humanely???


I feelfor you too Dan, one deer per year?? Only bait certain species? where do they come up with this stuff???

Dan...maybe I shouldn't say what Virginia allows but I'll say it anyway. We're allowed six deer per year, three of those are either-sex tags. We can also buy unlimited "bonus" tags for does. I feel for you man. That's rough.

Ohio> No rifles allowed for deer... how about a caliber limitation at least, or even straight walled pistol cartridges (.357 or larger) in lever guns...
