Central Virginia Chapter


About:

The Central Virginia Chapter is an active chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF). . It was formed to serve NWTF members in the Central Virginia Area consisting of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Orange, Louisa, and Greene counties. Some refer to this area as the Thomas Jefferson area.

The NWTF is the nation's most progressive non-profit (501c3) conservation organization dedicated to the preservation of all wildlife and their habitat with our main focus the wild turkey.

The Central Virginia Chapter was the first chapter in the Commonwealth of Virginia to host a Wheelin' Sportsman spring hunt. This hunt was developed by Dennis Campbel, Charlie Durrer and Robin Clark, and with the support of chapter members and volunteers, this hunt took place on Carter Mountain just outside of Charlottesville. Butch Trinca took two nice gobblers the first two years of this hunt, and after his death, the hunt now bares his name as the Butch Trinca Memorial Hunt. This hunt is held on the second Saturday of the spring season.
