I've hunted in Virginia a few years, and there's a fair amount of public land to hunt in some areas. As long as you're willing to do some hiking to get back off the road (and you're in good enough shape to do it) you'll have very little competition (we didn't see anyone else, and only heard one other shot). Make sure that if you're trying to fill a freezer that you are allowed to take does in that management unit. Also, call up their department of fish and game. They should be instrumental in recommending areas to hunt. Also, their big game license also includes a bear tag, and in some areas, the seasons overlap. Good luck finding a good place to hunt!
