In the age of technology and instant gratification, quantity seems to be taking precedence over quality. For example, instead of single movie premieres, we binge entire series through streaming. Instead of checking in with friends with a weekly phone call, we are consistently reading about what others are up to through social media. This has made us somewhat insatiable–always craving more.
Making the choice between quantity and quality is especially challenging when planning your hunting trip – would I sacrifice a greater variety of activities for luxury accommodations, great food or a talented, dedicated staff? Tucked away in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Primland Resort hunting lodge in Virginia prioritizes both quality and quantity in all aspects of the guest experience so guests don’t have to choose. They get the best of both worlds.
Because the spacious grounds at Primland are well managed and maintained, upland bird habitats and species thrive in its environment.
A 12,000-acre managed estate, Primland’s vast property ranges in typography from rolling hills to woodlands to trout streams and more, ensuring each excursion will be as unique and challenging as the last. In addition to the expansive land, Primland is home to a plethora of thriving game species while also hosting a wide variety of activities for hunters and non-hunters alike.
According to the Primland Outdoor Activities Supervisor, Carl McDaniel, this diversity sets Primland apart from other hunting lodges in Virginia. Not only can guests hunt upland birds, but they can also experience exceptional fly fishing within season for wild trout, trail rides through the dynamic landscape via RTV or horseback, a visit to the Primland spa, an afternoon of golf and more. “We also offer fair chase wild game hunting like whitetail deer and eastern wild turkey in the spring,” McDaniel shares. Primland even highlights traditional European driven shoots, which is an especially rare find in American upland bird hunting lodges. When it comes to pheasant hunting in Virginia or bobwhite quail hunting in Virginia, Primland provides the ideal environment for each.
By including something for everyone, Primland takes on the challenge of offering all of these different activities to guests while still maintaining the quality one expects when visiting a luxury sporting lodge. Primland, however, prides itself on its efforts to minimize the human impact on the natural environment. Because the spacious grounds at Primland are well managed and maintained, upland game bird habitats and species thrive.
Not only can guests hunt upland birds, but they can also experience exceptional fly fishing within season for wild trout.
Primland’s quality can also be measured by the dedication of its hospitable staff. When searching for the best guided hunts in Virginia, look no further than the professional hunting guides at Primland Resort. Many hunting lodges offer guided hunts, but not all are of high caliber. Primland takes the time to teach new and learning hunters.
“Our guides will take the time to instruct guests, from lessons in shotgun shooting to sighting-in rifles prior to whitetail deer hunting. We also direct first time-hunters to basic hunter education programs as the first step in their journey. This online education covers safety, ethics and everything in between,” McDaniel says.
After a morning of horseback riding or upland bird hunting and an afternoon of fly fishing or riding ATVs around the property, a pleasant night’s rest is the perfect end to an eventful day. For accommodations, guests can choose from a wide selection of luxurious cottages and even signature tree houses, all featuring sweeping views of the landscape.
Many of Primland’s guests are, in fact, first-time hunters. What these first timers often appreciate is the invaluable experience of learning how to prepare wild game for the table. “If a guest is interested in learning about field dressing or meal preparation,” McDaniel says, “our guides are happy to teach them.”
If there is ever a time to “have your cake and eat it, too,” it’s when you are on vacation. As a guest of the Primland Resort hunting lodge in Virginia, you never have to settle. Shoot high-quality game at high-quantity numbers. In more ways than one, at Primland, you can have your quail and eat it, too, getting the very most out of your adventure.
