Big is relative I guess - prob not big compared to other spots or out west - but that ridge is prob 20 miles of national forest - and I'm used to smaller gamelands and private that are a few hundred to few thousand acres at most. Lots of game there, but you have to earn it. Anything within half a mile of the road is pressured pretty hard, esp stuff outside front royal. Walking in even a mile will drastically reduce amount of other hunters you see - at least based on my limited exp, 2 turkey seasons and 1 deer. I think covid had an unusually high number of folks in woods this spring too. I looked at Thompson wma as well but it seemed wayyy too pressured so I never hunted it. If anyone knows any clubs out this way I'd be interested- saw NSA but not sure i like their model. I hunt some private outside Lynchburg with my uncle as well - but I know there's a lot of NF out that way too.
