I grew up near there and used to hunt it some. I would say it has the most hunting pressure of any WMA in the state now. So many people from out of state hunt it that the locals just stopped hunting it. From the end of Oct to the end of Nov. it totally sucks. I would hunt very early or late in the year and yo umay have a better hunt.

The deer population has been down for several years. I fact, they changed the law this year that only allows for one deer to be killed per hunter....doe or buck. You wouldnt believe how many bucks they find dead that people have shot and left in the woods because the were under the 15 inch limit. If you ask me the place it total crap now and unless they can control the number of hunters and stop the killing of small bucks it will stay that way. A real shame too....it used to be a top notch place to hunt.
