The 2013 spring gobbler season in West Virginia is from April 22-May 18. There is also a special Youth Day hunt on Saturday, April 20 for youngsters 8-17 years of age.  We have begun taking reservations for the Youth Day hunt and the regular season (first 10 days only).

Reservations can be made by contacting John Gavitt via e-mail (northriver@live.com) or telephone (540-539-9873). If possible, please provide alternative date(s) for your hunt, as available spaces fill quickly.  
This is a wonderful time of year, and hearing a turkey gobbler sound off in the morning is an added bonus! Hunting starts before sunrise and ends in the early afternoon, so there's time later for relaxing, pond fishing and a much-needed nap!

To ensure for a quality hunting experience, only two hunting parties of 1-2 hunters are booked at a time and each party has their own guide. Guests booking a two-morning guided hunt during the regular season will arrive in time for supper on the evening before the first morning hunt, and depart after lunch the second day.  Guests booking a one-morning guided hunt during the regular season will arrive in time for supper the evening before the morning hunt and depart after lunch the next day.

For the Youth Day hunt, the youth and parent or guardian will arrive on Friday, April 19 in time for supper, and depart after lunch on Saturday.

Rates are described below. All guide fees (except for voluntary gratuities), meals and lodging in the NRR cabin are included unless stated otherwise. Trout fishing in the pond below the cabin is available at no charge.

We have shotguns and ammunition available at no charge, as well as hunting vests with padded seats.
