I'm not sure what you guys in West Virginia had this winter but I will say anyone planning on hunting Southwestern Virginia this year, be prepared for major tree damage. The ice storms have been crazy this year in certain parts of that area of the state. I hunt lots of places where pines and hardwoods grow along the roads we walk up and it's been a major challenge cleaning it up. I'm dreading some places I haven't even been to yet because I know it will be a drastic change from last year. Also, flooding. Lots of places in southwestern Virginia has had some major flooding on several occasions. Add that to the declining population in this area of Virginia and it could result in some tough sledding. I haven't seen any turkeys while out driving in a good while either.
