VASavage - No need to check in on the WMA's. Just drive up to a parking lot, and you're set to go. M38 was right about the pressure during the week. It's not too bad. But on Saturdays, it can get ugly sometimes. If you're willing to put in a little extra footwork, you can get away from the crowds though. Go to the VDGIF website and print out a map of Phelps or any of the WMA's before you go, they are extremely helpful.

CDover - I've seen no quail on any of the NOVA WMA's I've been to.
