Welcome to Twin Ridge Upland Bird Farm. We are a 300 acre farm nested in the center of Jefferson County in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Originally an apple orchard, we have down sized our apple production to make room for your hunting experience. Twin Ridge provides a place to hunt dove, quail and pheasants in a natural country setting far away from the city hustle and bustle. We have experienced guides with well trained dogs to help you have a memorable and successful hunt. Come on out and enjoy bird hunting at its best!
Dove Hunts
September 1st is the first day of dove season and a hunt that you don't want to miss. We have planted acre upon acre of sunflowers, buckwheat and sorgum to maximize your chances of filling your limit. We have also provided blinds stationed around our fields for your convenience.
The price is $60 per hunter after the first 3 days. Sign up starts at noon with the hunt beginning at 2:00 and ending at sunset. Spaces are very limited, so call early!

Bow Hunting
 This year due to the overpopulation of deer that we have, I've decided to let a limited number of hunters come and bow-hunt on our farm. We have wonderful wooded fence rows surrounded by apple orchards, corn and soybean fields. We'll provide new, heavy duty ladder stands placed near the best deer crossings we have and each hunter will have many acres of his own so not to be disturbed.
You can kill more than one deer depending on the type of license and tags that you get. Go to www.WVHunt.com for more licensing information. We do request that your first kill be a doe.
The 2008 Bow Season is from October 18th thru
December 13st.
We also sell deer apples by the 20 bushel bin for $50.00 per bin or you can pick up a full truckload yourself for $75.00.
Prices
$125.00 Per Day or
$325.00 3 Day Hunt
No meals or lodging provided.
Remember, Sunday hunting is allowed.
