Best public pheasant hunting in VA
 

Is there such a place? I'm gearing up for pheasant next month (not to mention deer and goose a bit later), but I was curious as to anyone here with me in VA also hunts pheasants and could point me to a place to go. I'm not asking for anyone's treasured spot, just some general info, which is, always, appreciated.

My dad is a grouse hunter, and if there were anywhere in VA to hunt pheasants he would also be a pheasant hunter. I don't know of ANY places to hunt pheasant, except for preserves where you pay to hunt for pen raised birds.

try www.fffhuntingpreserve.com in keysville, he has wild and pen raised birds. I did some deer hunting there and it is really nice

Thanks fellas - I e-mailed the guy and asked him if he was booking anything in the near future. It's 70.00 for a half day of pheasant, and that includes 4 birds. Any extra is 17.50, I read.

I think I'll go for quail on public land, if I can.

I had planned to go to the CW Phelps WMA on Monday for opening day of fall turkey, and while there, go also for dove and woodcock. For deer, I had in mind the Clinch Mountain WMA several hours south of here. If I'm not mistaken, our season here west of I-95 lasts from 19 NOV until 3 DEC.
