Finally!!! i got one of my old hunting spots back. i met this elderly gentleman early in 2003 through a mutual family friend. he allowed me to hunt his property during the 03 season. i only got to hunt there about 3 times, but 4 deer left in the back of the TOYOTA. keep in mind i wasn't really friends with the landowner. opening afternoon of 04 i showed up to hunt and the property had a gate on it. it so happened a car pulled up and they informed me the property had been bought by them the day before! it has taken a lot of talking to get access to this spot again, but they finally agreed and gave me written permission again! its the most beautiful 170 acres i have ever seen. its mostly just rolling pasture, but in the back corner, near the creek, deer always walk out in the afternoons. i watch 24 deer come out of there the first time i hunted. now i'm so excited for saturday afternoon that i can't wait!!!! and i'll take some pics and post them so you guys can see what hunting in VA is like.

    That thing will hold that many?



    If huntin' is a sport, then your lookin at an athlete- T-shirt

    Gun bans have never accomplished anything, other than to create a safe working environment for criminals.

    Sounds great! I have a great uncle near Richlands VA that I tired to hunt with last season but things didn't work out. I was hoping to hunt in the Jefferson national forest. He owns a cabin (once was my Grandfathers) that borders the Nat Forest. It's actually walking distance too! I have tried for YEARS and YEARS to be able to stay and hunt out of that cabin but it just hasn't worked out. The rumor mill in the family is that I might get the cabin when my great uncle passes. If he does! He's almost 90 now and still lives by himself and drives like he is 16. It's either all on the gas or all on the break! Looks like he could out live me and sometimes I hope he does.

    Here is a question for you HS, do you know or do you know where I could find out if I would still be a non-resident if I owned the property and cabin? I know it's only an acre or two but I would still have to pay taxes on it. I was just wondering about that. It's only about a 6 or 7 hour drive from my house.

    hmmm...i'm in the wrong business to be giving advice for that question. but my guess is that if you own the property, and there is a dwelling on the property, and you stay in it at least part of the year (that's the trick is how much % of the year you would have to live there to be considered a resident) then you can get an in-state license. hmmm...i dont' know for sure but i will try to find out something and let you know.
