C.F. Phelps Wildlife Management Area

WMA · Fauquier · Piedmont Virginia

C.F. Phelps WMA occupies rolling foothills along the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge in Fauquier County. The area provides quality deer and turkey hunting in mature hardwood forests and old field habitats. Its location in northern Virginia means it receives significant hunting pressure, particularly during firearms deer season. DGIF maintains food plots and wildlife openings to support game populations despite the high use.
