I have never hunted Virginia and it has been a while since I have gotten to West Virginia, but as to the latter state, there is plenty of area to hunt. Two National forests as well as state lands. Be cautious of trespassing on private land. Written permission is required by law and the locals are resentful of encroachers, particularly deer hunters. The people of W.V. are friendly folk and if approached for permission will be polite in their answer. If no, it will be firm and if yes it will be with a smile and possibly a tag along. When I hunted there I saw alot of turkey and grouse!
I remember one year as I dragged out my deer a young felow and his wife stopped their pickup to help me- announcing: "We just stopped to look at your deer!" As we loaded it into my truck the young man related how the night before he had switched on the backyard lights to find several deer there. He then said; I went un got ma bow and just filled the yard with arrus!
