Altaffer Outfitters

Altaffer Outfitters started a decade ago under Lawrence Altaffer and has built a reputation on one principle: do less, do it well. They guide hunters on some of Virginia's best turkey and deer land—family-hunted property spanning the Blue Ridge Mountains and Tidewater country.

Guided Wild Turkey Hunts Their core service. They handle everything: decoys, calling, spotting. You show up with camo, weather-appropriate clothing, valid hunting license, and your weapon. They'll get that bird within shooting distance. For hunters who want full DIY, they'll just put you on the X and let you work. Lodging and food are typically your responsibility, though they can arrange both for additional cost.

Limited Deer Hunting New to their offerings but serious about it. Only 5 hunters per year on a small, quality property. This isn't a guided hunt—you get placed in a stand or blind and hunt independently. They'll help recover and process any deer taken.

No jakes shot on either property in over a decade

That's not marketing talk. That's what happens when you limit hunters and manage land right. The turkey population stays large, healthy, and mature.

Selective Client Base They don't take a lot of hunters. This isn't a volume operation. It's intentional—keeps the experience quality for everyone and preserves the land.

Flexible Hunting Styles Whether you want full hand-holding or just access to proven land, they work with you. New to hunting? They'll call turkeys into range. Experienced? They'll get out of your way.

Customizable Experiences They'll work with you on logistics. Need help finding lodging? They can point you toward options or arrange it themselves. Want to hunt multiple seasons or properties? They can set that up.
