Nighttime Bear hunting
« on: September 08, 2016, 10:12:20 AM »
First off before anyone gets too excited I'm in Virginia.  :)  Just found out we can run bears here with dogs (which I already knew that part) from 0400 until 2200 at night.  Going in the next couple of weeks with the breeder I got a pup from.  He's put up 6 bears so far in the past 10 days.  The chase season ends on the 24th.  Cannot have any weapons in your possession during the chase season.  Here's a photo from his last hunt.
