I got picked for both Muzzle loader and general gun. I just hunted Friday of Muzzle and saw a few does while driving. Nothing while on stalk or stand. I had Doe permit also. Dad hunted all weekend and shot a huge buck in the north end but it was never recovered. They found blood and all and where it laid up but it kjust stopped. They looked for 4 hours and brought a hound out as well. No luck. He said Sunday they had 21 deer checked in.

I just hunted Sat and Sun of general and couldnt go today but I saw plenty of deer just the wrong kind. No doe permit for this hunt. I saw a coyote sunday and was about to shoot and he high tailed it. I saw a bobcat and 2 kittens walking the same trail as well. One was almost black. Weird looking. Dad and Brother also hunted today (Mon) they saw 15 does this morning and 4 does and 1 buck tonight. Brother is in wheelchair so he was moving to get a better look at the buck and get steady and he spooked and blew at him.

I think the rut has already happened but not positive. Deer were moving late in the morning around 930-1130 and just before dark for both hunts. Only saw one deer early morning and I jumped it walking in to stand.

Good luck to ya if you hunt this place. Beautiful WMA for sure! I will be back to hunt before the first 9 is up.
