SORRY JUSTIN
im going to try and give you a call now.

so what is going on here for this club? I have not heard anything for quite sometime and wondering what is the latest.

Hi CFCE,
how are you doing, I moved to the area (Orange Co.) last year as well and found it REAL hard to find a good place to hunt for the season. I had some luck on some private property of a friend I met at work, a 10 ptr & a spike. The 10 ptr is on my wall right now But what I wanted to tell you was late in the season, mid Dec, I started to explore / hunting with a bow, one of the WMA and found there was hardly any one there during the week, 2 or 3 people at the most, on 10k acres. I found places where the deer had been tearing up the accorns under the oak trees, lots of rub & scraps on riges. Being to noise I spooked up 2 deer one day. I know i will be scouting some of this territory early in oct to set up tree stand / ambush sites and look for others. I am Real INTERESTED in the hunt club VA HUNTER is trying to set up, have the money set aside burning a hole in my
pocket[:@]

Yeah, guys.... What's the latest word? The VA Hunt Club sounded really good and everything. There are a lot of us who are interested, and then never heard anything.

{Knock, knock, knock, HELLO?!?!}

Well guys I had been talkign with Chris on a several time a week basis until about 3 weeks ago and now I can not get ahold of him. I have left several messages with no returns so far. I actually had some land leads I was going to try to put in with his to see what happened.

Since I have not heard from him I went back to my own thing. I have a tennative lease on around 1000 acres in the Montross area. As well as several really good leads I am working on that are closer to town here. They are in the King George area mostly with a few being in Spotsy.

I am just having a hard time getting free time to go knock on doors like I would like though. I have everything else taken care of including insurance which allows any style of hunting that anyone wants to participate in.

Insteresting,

How sweet things sounded a few months ago with this new venture brought before us. I've spoke with Chris some time back, things were interesting and I was intrigued. Now since that brief moment I haven't heard anything of it.

As Eng just explained he's been working on what a few of us previously started before chris came forth was a club. I just asked that if everyone who's interested can keep their eyes peeled for possible land leases it would be greatly appreciated as everything else in putting a club together is in place. LAND REMAINS THE CRITICAL FACTOR AT THIS JUNCTION.

Just to jump off the topic for a minute, anyone preparing for the Spring Gobbler season? And if so are willing to hunt with a partner etc.

When does long beard season begin?? I dont have a clue.... but yes I would be willing to hunt with a friend or two....

As far as the club like i said the only thing lacking is more land at this point.... any and all hands on deck to help look would be great!!!

Eng, VASavage,

Spring Gobbler dates are:

Apr 9-30.....1/2 hour before sunrise 'till noon.
May 2-14....1/2 hour before sunrise 'till sunset.

I'm open to joining in on a long beard hunt. I have a nice HS Strut single reed call that I can use pretty good.

But then again, I would really get nervous turkey hunting on a WMA on any given Saturday! [&:][] There's got to be better places to go!

I have one or two little chucnks of private land that I can get on... in fact VaSavage has been to one of them.

It has a few turkeys on it!!
