Midatlantic states hunting?

I live in Washington, DC. Is there anyplace within driving distance I can hunt deer this Spring or Summer? Every sport shop I enter is filled with a bunch of know-it-alls who start going on about ..'how the seasons over' and 'you need special permits' rules... rules.... rules...,and etc, etc. Don't these guys have anything better to do than hng around gun shops. and doesn't it seem like thy're everywhere? What a drag. Is it really all that

What do you call driving distance? One of the states south of Virginia somewhere has a deer season that opens in late summer. Try http://www.buckmasters.com/hunting_seasons/ for a list by state.

this may be a bit far for you, but check out the rest of the site if you want

Spring / Summer is the gestation period for most animals. I don't think *any* true game animal is allowed to be hunted then.

You might want to start varmint hunting. Northern VA, southern PA has a fair number of wood-chucks, and late spring / summer will give you some interesting shooting.

The Rules, Rules, Rules that are spoken about, are there for a reason!!!!!!!!! The Know it alls probably are right!!! Have you taken a hunter education course? Do you have a hunting license? I have got to ask- Do you really want to go hunting (fair chase, quick clean kill good shot) or do you just want to kill something? I don't know If I am getting too wary of some of the questions on the board, but it seems like it might be a person that wants to go against everything we believe in. Fair Chase, Quick clean
