Ft. Eustis is not too bad. The place to be is on the eastern shore though. Where are you located in VA

RE: Virginia Deer Hunting?
 

Lots of good places.. Like what Jimmy said, where will you be?

Big state. Do you want to narrow it down a little bit more?

Jimmy,

where do you hunt on the Eastern Shore?

Hey Turkey Nut, there are plenty of good places to hunt in Virginia. I have hunted on the eastern shore which is over ran by deer, surry, courtland, suffolk, chesapeake, southhampton county, etc. Let me know where in VAyou are talking about........

actually i am looking currently for somewhere to hunt on the eastern shore. I have a beach house on the bay side just outside of Exmore Va and the land there is locked up by hunters already. when i go to my house it is a 15 min ride through nothing but fields and EVERY NIGHT you see 130 and up class deer. some have probably been pushing 160. I have tried everything i know to get on some land but every farmer i talk to has already leased his or is not willing to do it. I cant find out who is taking it up or i would offer to get in on it.

I hunted at FHA Hunt Club in Accomac County, Va.

do they have a website or point of contact?

RE: Virginia Deer Hunting?
 

There is a lot of good public land in Bath, Botetourt, Rockbridge and Alleghany County if you want to venture over he to the westside of the state;)

Jimmy,

I can get the presidents e-mail for you. The club used to be big into dog hunting, but did away with it last year. My buddy remained with the club while i opted to join another club closer to home. He had some success out there harvesting a very nice 8 pointer during the bow season.I will contact him and see if he can forward the information to you. You said you live on the Eastern Shore?

RE: Virginia Deer Hunting?
 

Are you looking for public land, private land to lease,or an outfitter type hunt? Why are you specifying VA in particular? Nothing wrong with VA, they have some awesome deer in certain areas.

There's also some monsters if you don't mind hunting the WMAs and other public land around the Shenandoah National Park in Madison, Greene, Page, etc. Lots of bear around too.

New to Central Virginia. Anyone know of any hunting clubs in Central VA or Tidewater area accepting new club members? Deer hunting primarily with bow and blackpowder. Thanks.

if your already in the eastern shore area, go hunt the dismal swamp, or try to get involved with one of the quota hunts Virginia offers all over the state. www.vaquotahunts.com Another good way is to try and join a hunt club of some kind.The national forest on the western part of the state holds a lot ofgood deer if your willing to go for a long walk.If you get a few miles off the road, the deer tend to be plentiful there(ive shot nice bucks doing that). There good deer all over the state. if fact if you look at record book deer,VA has aton, it just doesnt get the publicitylike other states.

the whole states getting overrun by deer LOL.. The eastern shore is nice, but do you want to try and bag a nice buck or just a deer? I havent seen many big deer come from the eastern shore. They have high numbers there, but I dont think its to many huge bucks there.
