The business model we employ, exclusive use of the preserve by you and your guests, ensures that the preserve is lightly hunted. We have a very healthy herd with great numbers. The majority of our preserve is managed strictly for recreation with no compromises created by agricultural concerns. Food plots and natural cover abound. Several hundred acres of mature oak/hickory forest provide great mast for deer and turkey. The recent purchase of a 110 acre parcel on our southern border connects us to the protected forest land surrounding Kerr Lake.

Deer hunting is best during the archery and muzzle loading seasons. Hunting deer with dogs is popular here in southern Virginia, and allowed during modern firearms season. We do not pursue that particular sport or allow it on the preserve, but we can't always control the dogs of others. During modern firearms season, it is not impossible to have a pack of hounds run through our hunting areas. In order to preserve great hunting during archery and black powder seasons we do not book deer hunts during modern firearms season. 

 

Now, this is not a "trophy hot spot." The deer don't come out to feeders in sight of tree stands (baiting deer is illegal in Virginia). This is real fair chase hunting in an area with good genetics, light pressure, and great habitat. You might spend hours in the well placed stand on the perfect day and see only does and spikes. Then again you may find your patience, preparation, and stealth rewarded by the chance to take a buck that has out smarted those who would harvest him for years.  For prices click here.
