GSP,

I don't feel quite as bad right now. I can drive an hour and a half and he in West Virginia or close to Richmond where the hunting is great. Problem is knowing somebody out there with land and getting permission from them to hunt that land. My biggest problem is finding landowners that will allow me to hunt around here. I see plenty of geese, ducks, deer and groundhogs around here. In fact, I have a groundhog in the common area of the development that the dog has almost caught a couple of times. I have a group of six whitetails that come around all the time in the same area as the groundhog and there are two storm drain overflow ponds out there that have ducks and geese in them almost all the time. I have seen more mallards during the past two weeks than I have seen while out hunting.

The big problem here isn't the lack of game, it is the lack of land to hunt on, or for that matter, landowners that will allow people to hunt on the land.
