VA. BLACK POWDER SEASON.......UPDATE NOV.28
The Va. black powder season opener for deer is Nov. 05 and good luck to all the hunters that will be out hunting.
looks like its going 2b a great week for hunting them deer.
OPENING DAY UPDATE ......
We had a cool rainy front move through our area on Thursday & Friday. We thought this would make the deer start moving more. The bucks had started chasing the does about a week ago. My good friend "Buzz" and I had put out cameras in August and we had quite a few pictures of nice bucks. We had decided to get in our stands on Saturday morning extra early. It was 30 degrees with a slight breeze and we knew it had to be a good day. We texted each other that we were set and locked and loaded for the day's hunt. When it started breaking daylight I heard a few turkeys gobble so since I was tagged out for the fall the turkeys were of no concern to me. As daylight came we heard a few distant shots and about 9:15 I heard Buzz shoot. Five minutes later he texted me that he had shot the big 8 point buck that we had on our hit list. I had no more closed my phone when I looked up and saw a doe running through the woods. I shot the doe at about 50 yards and while I was cleaning my muzzleloader to reload a 9 point buck came through the woods and stop next to her. I couldn't believe it, I just put the crosshairs on him and squeezed the trigger. He ran about 50 yards and laid down. In all it was one of the best opening days we had in a few years.
Hope ya'll have a great season.

Re: VA. BLACK POWDER SEASON.......
Good luck fellas. I also have a week of muzzleloader starting next week. This week I have seen 3 different bucks out in daylight and shot an 8 point with the crossbow on tuesday with his nose to the ground. So things are starting to get going where I'm at hopefully the same for you.

Muzzy season is the only deer season I enjoy.. Ours is in Dec, usually snow ass deep to a giraffe.
Good luck out there and "keep yer powder dry"
