During the fall and winter hunting season, not only do many birds begin migrating south, but people, especially hunters, flock to the southeastern United States throughout these months to experience the vibrant fall foliage, temperate winter weather and exceptional upland bird hunting opportunities. Rural Virginia is one of the most alluring places to visit this special time of year, and guided hunts in Virginia are an experience unlike any other. Tucked in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Primland Resort hunting lodge in Virginia makes the most of its prime location by optimizing the “live off the land” lifestyle and extending that one-of-a-kind experience to each and every one of its guests.

The “land” is a vast 12,000-acre hunting preserve with ample wildlife and a plethora of activities such as archery, deer hunting, bird hunting, golf, fly-fishing and even traditional European-style driven pheasant hunting. While there is plenty to do at the resort throughout the year, upland bird season stands as the premier choice for hunters from the months of September through April.

Quail, pheasants and chukar are just some of the wild game you can hunt at Primland. With options to enjoy upland hunting with Primland’s dogs and selection of guns, hunt with your own dog and guns or even participate in a unique European-style released pheasant shoot, hunters can design their own stellar experience.

Pheasant hunting Virginia’s private preserves is an experience like no other. The unique topography of the property, which combines both woodlands and hilled terrain, also allows hunters the rare opportunity to experience true, traditional driven shoots in the United States. No matter the hunts and experiences you select during your stay, the landscape of the property proves every outing to be both challenging and unique.

Primland prides itself on its efforts to minimize the human impact on the natural environment and invites guests to return to simple pleasures throughout their stay. Quail hunting Virginia’s wild habitats are declining, but because the spacious grounds at Primland are well managed and maintained, upland bird habitats and species thrive there. Primland’s method of early release ensures pheasant, quail and chukar are in abundance. In other words, finding and flushing your quarry is made easy, with all the excitement one would expect to come with the hard flushing of birds taking flight, which makes the hunts tangible for youth and beginner hunters and seasoned hunters alike.

Renowned for both quality and luxury, Primland offers exceptional amenities and a dedicated, experienced and professional staff. In fact, guests who frequent the resort often request to hunt with Primland’s esteemed guides and gunloaders year after year, and are always welcomed with a sense of true Southern hospitality.

Primland hosts exceptional fly-fishing within season for wild trout, a rare find in the sporting lodge world.

The love and passion for the land itself can be witnessed in every facet of the Primland experience from the habitat of the wildlife to the freshness of the food. The resort is also home to a variety of restaurants with delectable meals using locally sourced fresh, organic ingredients paired with wines from Primland’s extensive collection, all combining to create an inviting and relaxing atmosphere while living the true field-to-table lifestyle.

The expansive mountain-top main lodge hosts highland views as far as the eye can see, but for those in search of a more intimate experience, Primland also offers additional accommodations such as quaint cottages for individuals or small families and, a popular option amongst visitors today, tree houses that further encompass the alluring lifestyle of the outdoors with the luxurious comforts of Primland’s fine amenities.

But what time and again sets Primland apart from other hunting lodges in Virginia and beyond is the unbeatable location in which hunters and shooters, beginners and enthusiasts, even non-shooters, non-hunters and families can experience all Primland has to offer without the challenges and expense of international travel. The Blue Ridge Mountains alone are breathtaking. Add hunting grounds that appear to be limitless, talented pointing dogs and you have a hunting adventure unlike any other that only the hospitable folks at Primland can offer.
