Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

I think I'd prefer Powhatan WMA.  I have topo and aerial maps of both.

Never hunted Powhatan but it really doesnt matter to me, I just want to meet everyone and have fun. May have to bring some venison to cook in case we don't see any Squirrel.  :wavey:

The best area for camping that I know of is if you drive into the main entrance, park near Sunfish Pond , walk across the dam, up a small rise there is a clearing with a couple of old fire pits. I t is not more than 100 trds from the parking area and is at the start of "Skewrl Ridge Trail" I normaly hunt on the other end of the WMA but there is no used camping areas there that I have seen. Plus it will easier for people to meet at the main access area. Ihave a block target! Looking forward to it   :campfire:

UK you think you could look at the map and give the  directions on how to get there to the main entrance?

Here's a link to a map of the place we'll be hunting.

Guess we all can meet up at the end of Rt.662... The end of the main entrance near sunfish pond. Just like UK said..

Simple directions from the sign that Kathy took a picture of a few years ago would be appreciated. Also a time of the meeting.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Tom, I been lookin' at it, and can't figger where the sign was. My plan was to attack from Richmond, and head south from 60 on 627. Then it's a left on 662 to the parking area.

Anybody see where I'm messing up?  :confused:

60 to 627 to 662 is how I plan on going in.  I haven't been there in about 10 years, so I don't remember where much is or was.

Bowbender you're right on the money.
Tom, She took the pic in the parking lot of the "Field Office" that's on the map.     ...Just drive past the Field Office going west on Route 60 and  about 2 miles on the left is Rt. 627. Make another left onto Rt. 662 and go straight. If your going Sat. morning just look for a bold, fat, really  good looking, whitty man in the parking area. Dat be me.

For those of you comming from No. VA take 95 to 295 west, 64 west to 288 south, to rt 60. it saves you a bunch of time. 288 is not shown on all maps as it is quite new.

I'll be coming from Stafford to 208 in Spotsylvania then 208 across Lake Anna to 522 to 60 to 627 to 662.  It's not interstate but I like it better.

Just remember folks ...If you're bringing kids make sure you dress them in several thick layers of clothes. And maybe some safty goggles..... From what i gather Illdeer is going to bring her poking stick.. Monkey, I have a bullet proof vest from when I was a Cop. You want to buy it cheap??
I'm planning to be there Sat. morning around 6:00am so I can bum some breakfast off somebody for I go hunting around 7:00.   :coffee:

I still haven't decided what I'm going to do.  Anyone taking a 2-way?  Can we agree on a channel in advance for late-comers?  I'd have to work up some flu-flu arrows and order some blunts.
