    Moving from east cost VA to WY

    Moving there partly due to what where I live now is becoming. Won't be looking to change a thing about it.

    Moving from east cost VA to WY

    Yep, You read that right. Got a new job, moving to the great mountain west. I'm an avid hunter but obviously it's very different out west then on the east coast. I know I'll have to get a heftier pack, upgrade my camo, upgrade the optic on my rifle for longer shots... Anyone else have any...

    Eastern VA Hunt Club

    Hello all! This past year was my first year ever rifle hunting on my own. I was able to get a doe due to one of my friends and his hunt club letting me come hunt last weekend to get a doe on the last weekend of rifle season. The experience was great, i enjoyed the guys and was wondering if...

    Eastern VA public land (Chickahominy)

    Appreciate y'alls replies. I'll definitely check it out, it's only an hour and some change away from me. I definitely do not dog hunt, and can't stand people who do on public land frankly. I will do a bit of work and scout it and see what I can't come up with in doing that and take y'alls advice

    Eastern VA public land (Chickahominy)

    Anyone hunt this? Never been, just drove through it today for the rifle range. Curious if anyone has any info, areas that are good to check out. I rifle and how I hunt so I'm curious about where to start in this area. Didn't see a lot of hunting traffic in there.

    Gerber Myth Field dress Knives

    I went with an outdoor edge razor for now. It has done me good on squirrels so far, no deer yet but hoping to change that this weekend

    Gerber Myth Field dress Knives

    Anyone used the Gerber Myth knife set for skinning/gutting? New hunter, not trying to go super expensive in my first year. Just get a nice set that will last me a bit till I can get all the equipment I need over the next couple years.

    Gaters for ticks on Sitka pants?

    Looking to buy new Sitka Equinox pants... Can get them with or without the gaters for ticks/chiggers/etc. I'm gonna be saddle hunting pretty much all year. Was curious, do I go the way the insect defense ones or just get the regular ones for now and wear compression pants underneath if needed...

    New Eastern Virginia hunter

    Yeah, I've heard cavalier can be an absolute mess but it was worth a shot considering it's 30 minutes from me. I have a small field in the Gloucester area I can hunt but it's up against the water so not sure how beneficial it'll be I do know the deer are active there though. Don't really have...

    New Eastern Virginia hunter

    Appreciate it. I'll be doing ground hunting I think. I have a stand (was given to me) but given I'm new to the whole thing I'll stick to the easy stuff I think. Do you need a pass to hunt on the bases? Besides an ID (veteran with an ID)

    New Eastern Virginia hunter

    Yeah, already been done in our area, caused a big issue. Guy who did it has his lab killed in retaliation and his kids harassed at school. I don't live up there but own the property. It's... Interesting. But yeah, looking to find a spot or two for deer come rifle seasons, which doesn't look like...

    The dogs? Well... That's, am I? Yes, would it be a wise idea due to the payback that would come in various forms? No.

    New Eastern Virginia hunter

    My hometown as well... Can't stand it. Haha, but trying to make the best of it. Looked at hunt clubs but haven't found one that seems reasonable and doesn't run dogs. Own a small patch of land that's too small to hunt on around Gloucester and dogs get run through it all the time. Drives me...

    New Eastern Virginia hunter

    Brand new hunter here. Live in Virginia Beach, was curious about hunting deer on public land in the area like Back Bay, Cavalier, etc. If it's super over crowded, etc. I have a few friends who are going to take me up to some private land after the rut this year but I wanted to get in earlier and...
