Holden Creek Gun Club in Sanford, VA

We have about 1500 acres that we lease or own. It includes farm fields and woodlands, but the majority is marsh. We also hunt public waters and marsh. This year we will have approximately 30 blinds in a wide range of habitats to choose from: farm fields, a flooded impoundment, a farm pond, salt marsh ponds, creek and point blinds on both the Chesapeake Bay and the ocean side of the Eastern Shore. One of our boats is equipped with an Avery blind and we have portable blinds to take advantage of any opportunities which might present themselves.

Much of our hunting is done over handmade wood or cork decoys. Brant, Canada goose, snow geese, swan, puddle duck, diver, and sea duck rigs are all part of our equipment. We try to remain as flexible as possible and consider our hunter's preferences, the abundance of different species at the time and weather conditions when making the final decision on where we will hunt. Although we specialize in waterfowl, we also hunt dove, deer, and turkey and by next year may begin taking some fishing parties for trout, croaker, and striped bass. The Eastern Shore has a large, healthy deer herd and our turkey population is steadily growing. Our guides are expert deer and turkey hunters and many of our upland areas provide excellent habitat. We strive to maintain the atmosphere of the area's famous hunting clubs of the late 19th and 20th century. We hope you can step back in time with us and experience the same sights and sounds of the unspoiled marsh that your grandfather knew - the same sights and sounds that sportsmen have experienced for over a hundred and fifty years on the Chesapeake Bay.
