DOes anyone hunt in zone five, particularly the White Lake WMA...i went out there last week and didnt see anything. Just wondering if anyone has hunted here before...thanks

I've never hunted White Lake but I have hunted Zone 5. I used to hunt near Allamuchy and another piece near Independence. This was a few years ago but the deer hunting was pretty darn good there back then. I don't know about now. Rabbit hunting was awesome too! Thats about all I know about zone 5!

I hunt White Lake when it first opened in 1998. I shot a doe during the permit season. I have since gotten private property to hunt, but I still know people that hunt the area. When the area first opened it was very heavily hunted. However, the buddy I know still gets 1 or 2 a year out of White Lake. They are there, however, I have only seen them while walking. White Lake isn't that big and is surrounded by private property. Good Luck.

Whittingham is bad either, however the last time I hunted there someone shot at me. I shot at a deer in at the bottom of a ravine and some moron shot over my head and starting yelling at me. My buddy saw him and he wasn't wearing orange, about 30 feet in a tree stand, and on top of a ravine 3 over. Sad thing is, I hit the deer, but was afraid to track it. A lot of deer though.

You should have celled the game warden. I'm sorry you didn't do this. That same moron may think he can do this all the time. People who read this, please get some hair on those a$$ and fight for what is right!!!!!
