any advice for a whitetail hunter new to Virginia national forest in the Dublin area? specifically pertaining to elevation. do the deer during rifle season like to be up high or are they mostly down in the basins or low areas?
Hunting in "Big Survey WMA" Virginia in 2024 for whitetail deer! was looking for anyones experience in that area. haven't found much at all in terms of online forums on the area so wanted to start with anyones personal experiences hunting there. Hunting pressure? Good deer habitat? best time to...
Young east coast man with a newborn here, wanting to see if there was any "well off" folks that have recently purchased a new backpack lately and want to rid themselves of the old one. Willing to pay a fair price for a used pack in decent condition. Im planning my first trip out west in the...
@bonedogg I appreciate what your trying to say but I personally dont hunt for the antler size...that's a big plus but not the main focus. I hunt for the experience and the joy it gives me. I dream of hunting out of the state one day, but I just cant afford it right now at 22 years of age. It's...
Eastern NC deer that have been harvested within 20 miles of my home in Pinetown. The only one that is mine is the one with me in the picture and the one after that in the white truck. My buddies I hunt with killed the rest. Best group of bucks in this area in the last 10 years that I can...
im going with a buddy that will have a cow tag as well! im a little high on my estimate I know but id rather have extra money to sleep in a bed if need be or for emergencies.
im thinking 1400 would get me a cow tag and get me me there and back with food while sleeping in the truck for 3 nights or so. not bad. im gathering up my money now to make this happen this season! ill post more for sure before I leave!

exactly! you are a true easterner haha bc you hit the nail on the head! ive spent way to much time sitting in one spot for hours on end...spot and stalk is so much more fulfilling imo.
Your right a lot of people don't even try in their home state! I have been hunting public land in NC for 3 years now only once or twice a year and only have seen 2 bucks and a handful of does. i haven't even killed a deer on public land...i have standards lol. and out of the 2 bucks only 1 was...
