What’s New for Virginia’s 2026–2027 Hunting & Trapping Seasons
Changes to the Printed Hunting & Trapping in Virginia Regulations Book
We’ve redesigned the hunting regulations book, now known as the Virginia Hunting, Trapping, and Migratory Game Bird Seasons book, to make it easier to use. The new layout focuses on the information hunters and trappers use most often—season dates and bag limits—making it quicker to find what’s in season and where to plan a day in the field. The season information for hunting, trapping, and migratory game birds has been combined into a single publication for greater convenience. This effort allows DWR to reduce printing costs, minimize paper waste, and simplify the printed guide.
