Even with our large turkey populations, the state limits each hunter to three turkeys per year, which you may harvest all in the Spring. Guns and Gear Shotguns and archery tackle are used during our Spring season. Make sure you pattern your gun so you will be certain of its performance. The Spring in South side Virginia is a fickle time of year. The weather is usually temperate.
Temperatures normally range from morning lows in the forties to afternoon highs in the seventies.
Lower temperatures may be encountered in the early season mornings. Bring clothing that allows layering for warmth. We highly recommend camouflage clothing, including a face mask and gloves. Don't forget to pack a pad to sit on to keep you comfortable on damp ground. Blaze orange is not required.
