A Journey of Reverence: Shooting a Holland & Holland Royal by author Irwin Greenstein
Prospect Hall seeks to maintain premier wildlife habitats by catering to upland birds, a variety of other song birds, as well as, birds that migrate through the Shenandoah Valley and winter the season here. We just underwent the largest WHIP (Wildlife Habitat Improvement Program) program in the Eastern Panhandle, modifying approximately 100 acres to better suit upland game birds by developing a variety of natural grass habitats. Habitats improved so much that a Barn Owl was spotted on the property for the first time in decades and we accommodate one of the six-known nests in the entire state. This year was the first year that we hatched out wild and natural pheasant peeps on the property.

Clays, birds and lodging, all less than two hours from Washington, DC...
When you think of West Virginia, high and heavily forested mountains come to mind. Your vision fills with grouse and whitetails, and you’re not wrong at all. But there’s another West Virginia, a tail of land that swallows the point of land where the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers meet Harper’s Ferry.
This is rolling limestone countryside, open and cropped with fields of corn, wheat and beans. Here and there are isolated coveys of wild bobwhite, but, alas, quail are not prevalent enough for the prudent gunner to hunt. It is in this neck of the woods, on Opequon Creek, that Prospect Hall has established one of the finest preserves in the Mid-Atlantic States...Read More
