on either sex days you have about one chance in four in drawing a permit. on the wma i cannot imagine any one not taking a deer with a permit. at the present time nwtf is also having a habitat restoration project going on ,which should also help the deer hunting on the wma. normally covington and blue springs are in the top ten wmas every year with the number of deer taken. one thing for you to take in consideration is that the hunts are normally on different weekends, you can hunt on a rifle hunt one weekend at covington and then come back the next weekend and hunt at bluesprings. the deer hunts are on friday and saturday, however you can bowhunt on any other day, as well as hunt for small game. also i see that you enjoy fishing, blue springs wma has open pond, which is stocked with bass catfish and bluegill,with the campground located at this small lake.oh also their is a huge rustic pavilion at the picnic area that is ideal for reunions or weddings. this is where my wife and i were joined in holy matrimony almost eleven years ago.
