In this special episode of the Virginia Carolina Deer Tracts podcast, I sit down with Mike Jones, president of the Virginia Peninsula Sportsmen's Association (VPSA), for an in-depth conversation on the rich heritage and ongoing impact of the VPSA in the Virginia Hunting Community.

Mike Shares the fascinating history of the organization, from its founding roots to its long-standing role in promoting ethical hunting and wildlife conservation. We dive into the Virginia deer scoring system, how it compares to other scoring methods and why it remains a cornerstone of local hunting culture.
