Shooting Sportsman Endorsed Lodge Profile:

Primland

Meadows of Dan, Virginia

The Blue Ridge Mountains in south-central Virginia provide the perfect setting for one of the country’s premier sporting resorts: Primland. This luxury retreat sits on 12,000 private acres, the topography of which lends itself to one of the few legitimate driven shoots in the US. The combination of hilly terrain and woodlands allows beaters to present high pheasants over the Guns, and loaders and dog handlers complete the experience. In addition, guided walk-up hunts behind pointing dogs offer opportunities for pheasants, quail and chukar on the rolling, well-managed grounds.
