Virginia Black Bear — Allegheny Highlands Drive Hunt

Virginia's Allegheny Highlands in Bath and Highland Counties harbor a dense black bear population that has expanded dramatically over the past 20 years. Shenandoah Valley Outfitters runs traditional Virginia-style dog drive hunts on thousands of acres of hardwood mountain forest. Large groups of standers post on ridgelines while hounds push bears through the hollows — an exciting, social, and deeply traditional hunting experience. Dog drive hunts are a Virginia tradition dating back generations.
