Been going for years, it can get crowded but it's a big wma. From my experience, go deep and get in the water

Ya, if you don't have mosquito spray, you might as well turn back around.

Where are y'all finding water? I've walked it a few times and everything looks the same. Iv found a few thickets and I plan to hunt those, but anyone want to give a few pointers?

Planning on doing a mid day hunt tomorrow, thinking 10-2

Been hunting it for years. I'm tired of battling squirrel hunters and just stupid, disrespectful "hunters" in general. You can't get away from people out there unless it's a weekday during bow season. It's also overrun with hogs now and wildlife and fisheries still won't let people shoot them out of season. Also, good luck finding water right now because even the main canals are dried up. I've hunted at least three times a week since opening day and have only seen 2 does while it was still bucks only. My advice is walk AT LEAST a mile into the woods to attempt to avoid people and just stay out of the wma on either sex gun weekend because it's an absolute shite show. I've been telling myself since opening day that this is my last year hunting there. Getting in a club next year or I'll drive farther to hunt better state land.

Ya, thats my plan. I doubt I'll walk in a mile, but probably half. I'm hoping that it being a monday and its bow season I won't see anybody. I'd be happy as shite if I could stick me a hog or 2 during that time.

A_bear, is it even worth hunting? any reason you think you have only seen 2 this year?

I have spots on the krotz springs side and the whisky bay side. I always have a backup spot in case I roll up and there's multiple trucks or boats where I planned on hunting. It's worth hunting if you can hunt on weekdays. Weekends are just crazy out here. Squirrel hunters everywhere and now a lot of people walking around trying to shoot hogs with 22's and shotguns. You can't get mad because they're entitled to do that just like I'm entitled to deer hunt but it's just frustrating to drive out here, launch the boat, walk in, set up, and at 7am someone is walking around shooting up the woods. To me, it hasn't been worth it to hunt on either sex weekends because there's too many people with rifles, but now that I have a boat I'm going to give it a try and see if I can get away from the crowds. To put it into perspective, I hunted a spot last year from October 1st until thanksgiving week and never saw a single person or truck where I parked. I pulled up on Friday morning of either sex with a rifle and there was 6 or 8 (can't remember which one) trucks parked where I parked.... It's a total shite show on those weekends.

A-bear, do you have a f-150 and a skiff with a long tail by any chance?

10-4, smart man.

If you see a grey tundra out there, might be me.

Good luck, you should be able to get on some pork. They're nearly deaf and blind so just get the wind in your face.
