Public land WMA's? Let me sum up my experience with smilie expressions: [:'(][>:][:-][&o]
The best way to hunt a public WMA is during the week. Go in quiet and go in deep, is what I've always been told. Do not even
THINK of using a WMA on an opening day Saturday!

There will be 9000 hunters for every 1 deer!!! [:@] (ask me how I know....)

A lot of public land is only any good on opening day.
I've got one spot that's like a shooting gallery all day long on opening day. 2 or even 3 of us have sat there together on the ground like a picnic watching for a deer to show up. We always draw straws for who get's to shoot in what order.
