About Our Hunts in Virginia

Intro to the state—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.

Summary

Virginia offers a rich and diverse hunting experience, attracting enthusiasts to its varied landscapes that range from the Appalachian Mountains to coastal plains. The state is renowned for its abundant populations of deer, particularly whitetail, making it a prime destination for big game hunters. Additionally, Virginia provides exceptional opportunities for waterfowl hunting, especially in the iconic Chesapeake Bay region, where migratory birds gather in impressive numbers. The state's thriving small game population includes species such as rabbit, squirrel, and quail, catering to upland hunters and families seeking a traditional hunting experience. With a mix of public wildlife management areas and private lands, combined with a strong conservation focus, Virginia ensures that hunters can enjoy sustainable and ethical practices while exploring the natural beauty and rich heritage of the Old Dominion.

Prominent Land Features

Virginia’s hunting landscape ranges from the rugged, forested ridges of the Appalachian Mountains in the west through the gently rolling oak-hickory and pine woodlands of the Piedmont, down to the tidal marshes, river bottomlands and open farmland of the Coastal Plain. This mosaic of steep hollows, brushy transition zones, agricultural fields and riparian corridors supports abundant whitetail deer, turkey, black bear and waterfowl populations. Creeks, impoundments and wetlands add small-game and waterfowl opportunities, while seasonal hardwood green-ups and fall color displays enhance both the scenery and game movement for hunters of all experience levels.

Amenities

Virginia hunts are supported by a variety of lodging options, including rustic cabins or bunkhouses, traditional hunting lodges and occasionally tent camps for waterfowl or small‐game excursions. Accommodations typically feature private or shared rooms with standard beds, bunks or cots, depending on the package. Heating in colder months comes from propane or wood-burning stoves in cabins and central systems in lodges. During warmer weather, many facilities provide ceiling or portable fans, window-unit air conditioning or modern climate‐control to ensure hunter comfort. All locations are chosen for quick access to deer stands, waterfowl impoundments or bear habitat and come with guided, one-on-one support throughout the hunt.
