ARCHERY HUNTING CHANGES - COMMENT NOW!

Published: 28 April 2025
Bowhunters:  We need you to comment to DWR on the proposed changes to the 2025-2026 regulations. See the proposals and comment link here:
The two main issues:
* Bowhunters in some areas West of the Blue Ridge are losing up to 14 days of Either Sex Deer Season. Firearms deer season is being extended in these same areas, so we want to keep this season!
* Archery Bear season is being reduced in many areas. We think a 7 day reduction vs a 14 day reduction is adequate to help the bear population.
Your comments 100% influence how these proposals are finalized! Please comment if you haven't already. Comments close 9 May. For more detail, see VBA's letter on the proposed changes here: https://tinyurl.com/VBA-Letter-to-VA-DWR

Thank you in advance!
