Hi hear ya Stonewall, these fellars got some nice bucks this year! I did not take a picture of my BP seven pointer, but thats the best I have done so far this year. I have off the next three days to try and get a nice one and will send a picture if I do. Good luck to all the rest of you out there still hunting hard.

not a buck but had to post this pic, killed by a boy at our club

one I killed a few years ago.

Man, that is a crazy looking piebald DDD.

Hello all...

My name is Ron... I am 27 years old and live in Fredericksburg, VA...

I am "NEW" to hunting... I have been out to Church Creek, MD twice where I was invited to my cousins Friend's farm...

I really enjoyed the experience and am looking to really getting into the sport...

I went out and purchased my first rifle (Remington Model 700 ADL .30-06)...

I am hopeing to find someone that is willing to take me under their wing and teach me the ropes and the in's and out's to Hunting in VA... I don't have any land so I would need to learn about State Land Hunts...

Hope to hear from someone...

THANKS

RON

Welcome aboard, Ron...

You need to visit Virginia's DGIF (Dept of Game & Inland Fisheries) website and read all the rules, regs, and laws.

www.dgif.virginia.gov

Since you're in Fredericksburg, the nearest public land WMA (Wildlife Management Area) is CF Phelps, right up Route 17.

http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/wmas/detail.asp?pid=17

They also have a rifle range, where you can practice with your Remington .30-06 and get really proficient and learn which ammo it likes the best. You also need to real the regs on the DGIF website and check out the ordnances and various counties regarding rifles. Some allow rifles, some don't and only allow muzzleloaders and shotguns. Some don't even allow any firearms at all (bow only) -- i.e. VA Beach, City of Richmond, close suburbs of D.C. ..etc...etc...

Also (I'm sure you're aware), since your "new" to hunting... You need to go through the hunter education course before you can get a license (if you haven't already done so). All the info is on the DGIF's website.

I'm sure others will help out too. Again, welcome aboard! :)

Pics aren't the best, but the mount should look good.:s4:

Are you getting a full body mount Mitch?

I would love to do a full body but way too much money for me. I think just a head and then tan the hide.
