The state is geographically shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, home to much of the state's flora and fauna. The capital of the commonwealth is Richmond, Virginia Beach is the most populous city, and Fairfax County is the most populous political subdivision. The state population is over seven million.

Virginia Hunting

Virginia hunting guides and outfitters offer trips for a variety of animals. From small game bird like duck, quail, turkey, and dove, to big game like hog, boar, and whitetail deer.
Keep in mind the climate when you hunt in Virginia as well as the lay of the land.
Hunters comprise a major customer base in areas where hunting enjoys wide popularity, and, although the hunting season brings a huge increase in sales, hunters shop for gear and apparel the year round.

Hunting season dates vary by the type of game, weapon, and region, so it is difficult to know when it's safe to skip the hunter's orange. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries maintains a page with the current hunting season information. It is illegal to hunt on Sundays in Virginia, except on licensed shooting preserves. However, it is legal to hunt on Sundays in many states, so please be aware of that if you are caching out of state.

During hunting season, Virginia demand "every hunter or person accompanying a hunter shall wear a blaze orange hat or blaze orange upper body clothing that is visible from 360 degrees or display at least 100 square inches of solid blaze orange material at shoulder level within body reach and visible from 360 degrees". Hunter's orange clothing be purchased at Wal-Mart or local sporting good stores.
