Me and a couple of friends are headed to Virginia next week, specifically Bath County near Warm Springs. Just wondering how the hunting is this year and how the birds are acting. Are they gobbling good, henned up, etc. Thanks.

I do not live that close to Bath Co. I hunt in Giles and Montgomery and the Gobbling has been pretty good. On the other hand the hens have been pretty thick around all of my gobblers.

Normally I could shed some light on the subject as I hunt that area. However, my spring has been a bit abnormal and I'm hoping to get there for 1 more Saturday before the season is out.
Plenty of national forest land that is accesable. Cool here following a cold snap. Hens should be getting on nests any time so the next two weeks should hold promise if weather cooperates.

I have not been in Bath County since April 11th. Shot a nice longbeard that day. They were gobblin' good that day, but they also had hens. Have no info. since then...

You should be hitting it about right next week at that elevation.. far cry from the Mississippi Flatlands .. wear some snake boots and pack some water for the mountains.. good luck..

I will be hunting right next to you on the WV side at the same time ..going down the middle of next week..
