I've hunted Powhatan WMA many many many times. What do you want to know about it?

Powhatan (like other WMA's in VA) is best during the week, as it gets overloaded with hunters on any given Saturday.

Zing me an email and maybe we could get together for a scouting trip at Powhatan.

Hey Butch,

Man it's been a while since I've seen you around, just giving you a shout out and hopefully it will be a better season for you.

Butch , I think you gave me some info on this a year or so, but I never got the chance to scout anything. I'm planning on scoutting Dick Cross soon Let me know if your going to Powhatan I'll see if I can make it. Thanks Mike

Hey, no sweat..... [8D]

Another great place that I go to a lot is Cumberland State Forest. It's not as crowded as the WMA's and requires a $10 state forest stamp.

Hey guys its nice to hear someone talking about home. I live in Alabama but am from Amelia CH Va. Most of my kin still lives in the area.

Can you hunt varmint with a 223 in the Powahatan wma?

I agree that it's better during the week than on a Saturday, but if you try it out especially once the weather gets cold, you'll have the place more to yourself. I found it better than Amelia by far. Doe days are another story. The place is absolutely insane on doe days. You get groups of people running dogs and I am certain that some of the people they get out there on those hunts barely know one end of the weapon from the other.

Just talked to the local Game Warden, he said the place is bursting with gound hog and coon.
