RE: Va Hunters
Hey VA people. I live in Stafford County and hunt at the Phelps WMA and I am going to try out Quantico after the rifle season ends at Phelps. I went to see the orientation film and get the license to hunt at Quantico this past Sat. and it certainly is a lot more hassle than hunting a WMA, but it is close and I can hunt it until Jan. 4th.
Good luck everyone!

C.F. Phelps is not heavily hunted at all during the weekday. There is more hunting pressure on Sat. The one day it is very heavily hunted is the first Sat. in muzzeloader season since that is the only doe day. Try it, I like it.

RE: Va Hunters
M38,
Thanks a lot, just a few more questions. Do I need to check in somewhere when I arrive are? I've hunted clubs for years and on private land which is too far of a drive and hassel at times. Just looking for something close to home for a change.

RE: Va Hunters
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.

Hey BuckDiesel,
I've been all over Amelia WMA and Powhatan WMA. Both are nice. Powhatan is HUGE compared to Amelia. Being public WMA's, they are packed on Saturdays. I'm not dissing anything or anybody, but, it's almost like if you ain't one of the first couple of dudes at the WMA by sunrise - man, you might just as well go back home<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle>
Good luck. If you want to hunt Powhatan or Amelia, zing me an email!
