Jake,
PM me when you get a chance. I’m in Northern VA too, but hunt a lot on the Virgina eastern shore and would be happy to have you along on a hunt or two.
Welcome to the site!
Tony

My name is Jake and I’m a transplant to VA from upstate NY. Hunting waterfowl is my passion and being new to the Northern Va area I don’t have much to go on yet. Don’t know if anyone would like to trade a hunt in upstate NY for one in VA, or point me in the right direction, or have a tag along in the field. I’d be open for advice!
Shoot straight!
Jake

Ponds in Faquier County 09-06-2009 20:48
Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – Over 70 Degrees
Resident season is off to a good start, with birds working regularly at first light and last light. Clearly no migrators in the area yet, but the residents seemed to be working on a clock.
No pressure this early so calling them into the blinds isn’t much of a challenge, but limiting out with a 10 bird ceiling can be quite a challenge.
Will be out next weekend in the same area and will post additional reports as I have them.
Best of luck to all for a great season. Hunt hard and stay safe.

Would anyone be interested in a pre-season meet and greet? Good way to meet fellow members, swap stories, and perhaps arrange a few hunts.
What say you?

Mostly Sunny, No Precipitation – 30-34 Degrees – Open Water
Pretty good action through out the land – Only scratched one malllard this a.m on a solo quickee hunt. Still saw birds early come and go before legal. Then had to compete w/live birds. I lost!
Diver hunting for “bills” on the river is good. With one bird limits are easy to take generally.
Heard of some redheads being taken on farm ponds in Nokesville.
Definately a “small” push of new birds but with the holiday and a lot of guys out there, they’ll get wise quick.
Good luck, and be safe out there!!!

Hey guys I am an avid waterfowler who just moved to VA from Iowa. I have hunted geese and ducks for 20 years and I took a job out here in Virginia basically because I had no choice. Needless to say with the fall air moving in I am starting to get duck fever and I was wondering if there was anyone around this area that wouldn’t mind someone tagging along some Sunday. I actually have talked to some of my subcontractors and there is one with a lot of land around Smith Mountain Lake. Later on I am going to go scout this area and see if there are any Canadians I can shoot. Problem is I have all my decoys and gear in Iowa. If anyone is interested in meeting up or if you have an extra spot in the boat or blind please get ahold of me.
Here’s my resume

Starting to see groups of geese congregating and flying around usually in groups of 8-10, just in time for the resident opener.
I also noted good numbers of Doves around the country roads in Prince William, Facquier and Stafford counties.
Good luck in the opener. Also if you are looking for a place to hunt geese and doves in N.V.A. check out a website I designed for a friend. www.remingtonwhistlingwings.com
