License and access permit
Appropriate Virginia hunting license and applicable hunter education. A general access permit alone does not authorize hunting. Follow county method rules, legal hours and required blaze clothing.
When you can go
Use the current DWR small-game calendar for each listed species; dates differ for squirrels, rabbits, quail and grouse. Posted area or quota-period closures override general seasons.
Area restrictions
Mountain terrain and limited parking; use the marked public boundaries and designated parking. Check current species and county seasons before travel.
Plan with the official agency
The official property page identifies the listed small-game hunting. DWR small-game rules use purchased hunting licenses, rather than a species draw; this record excludes quota and special hunts.
No lottery is required for the described access and species. Other hunts on the same property may require a drawing. Check current seasons, closures, check-in and capacity before traveling; open access does not reserve an exclusive spot.
