RE: Va thinking of new Bear LIC?
Just a quick update for those of you who are interested.
IMO 2 good things have happened in regards to bear hunting.
DGIF did NOT approve the change to a special bear license.
Thr DGIF DID approve a longer seasons for both rifle and MZ hunters
That's what I call a win-win situation!

This was passed in 2004. (part B) All that's needed for it to become a reality is a board vote at at VBGIF meeting. You can expect it to be happening in a year or two at the most. Gee don't you remember when this came up in '04? Neither does anyone else.
§ 29.1-305. Special license for hunting bear, deer and turkey; authority of Board to create bear license.
A. A special license is required for hunting bear, deer and turkey in this Commonwealth, which shall be in addition to the license required to hunt other game. The fee for the special license shall be $12 for a resident age 16 or older, $7.50 for a resident under the age of 16, and $60 for a nonresident 16 years of age or older, $15 for a nonresident 12 years of age to 15 years of age, and $12 for a nonresident younger than 12 years of age.
B. The Board may create a separate special license for the hunting of bear in this Commonwealth. The fee for such a special license shall be $25 for residents and $150 for nonresidents. A person who obtains a special license for hunting bear shall also be required to obtain the state resident license or state nonresident license pursuant to § 29.1-303. If a special license to hunt bear is established by the Board, the special license required in subsection A shall authorize the hunting of deer and turkey only.

Big Bird,
That's a 5 year lag between being given the authority to do something and attempting to do it. IMO there isn't much desire or support to make the change or it would have been done earlier. I'm not saying that it will not eventually happen but for now it's not going anywhere
