Wilderness Hunting Lodge in Monterey TN. Plenty of land to actualy hunt even though it is behind a fence. Alan owns 16,000 acres. The lodges (3 of them) are nice and the employees are top notch. Headed there again in November if nothing happens-again. reflex264

There are a number of outfitters in North Carolina that are much closer to VA. Hog Heaven in Johnston County is one of them. There is one in Northern Virginia that I am in the process of trying to contact.

One huge advantage to Wilderness is you can hunt them however you want to. Spot and stalk, elevated blind or dogs. Its your choice. We spot and stalk. Nothing like hiking the mountains with a handgun in a good piece of leather. inside the cedar lodge looking in front of the cedar lodge and pond in the evening My favorite hog kill

Not doubting it's a great place, reflex, just that TN is a long haul from Virginia. I can be in North Carolina and in a stand in four hours. And that does look like a great place!
