i live 30 miles from covington wma and 20 miles from blue springs wma.all management areas have certain days that you can hunt with a rifle, of those days it is possible to draw a doe permit on designated hunts. all females and hunters under 16 will be given a doe permit. covington does have a 3 point on one side rule. the land located in the covington wma is not owned by the state,and there is a rumor that the land owner may pull the lease if the state does not start manageing the land better.
