RE: VA archery just around the corner!
Has been ready, re-qualifying this week however hoping the weather stays just about the same it's been all week and this coming rain should cool things down a little more. Belvoir my place of work and my place of urban archery.

RE: VA archery just around the corner!
VAhuntr, I would like to hunt the urban archery season but I can’t find any property I had a few leads but they had a few bad apples in there before. They took all bucks no Does like they said they would. I’m working on them but it doesn’t look good. I work on a golf course in Arlington and we have about 10-15 deer some stay all year and some leave. There is this one buck that can’t get out his front leg did not heal right, but he has it easy here he’s a nice 10pt this year. It’s hard to watch all these deer running around and can’t touch them. But it does make for good practices for rattling and grut calling.

I understand that. I have been denied access before because of what people have done in the past. Can't do anything but keep trying. Does your area have a government GIS system? I use the GIS to look at aerial photos of potential sights and then get the landowners contact information. I have had excellent results doing this.
