Public Hunting Land

[evidrine]

Best advice I can give about WMAs is just to pick one and scout it well before the season starts. Study the maps and pick the one that suits you best. I know guys who like to hunt a few different places each season (nothing wrong with that) but because of that dont get to scout as well as the would have if they had picked one and stuck with it. If you dont like it pick another to try the following season. Youve got to hunt public land hard and aggressively. There is a lot of competition in th woods with you. A GPS is almost a must have. Your rifle is plenty of gun for hunting around here. Find yourself a good climber also. Most WMAs have a check in/out station. Usually just a card to fill out and a tag for your windshield. The season hunting pamphlets have all the information for the different WMAs including schedules, special regs, and open/closed areas. Public lands can be dangerous. Be courteous of other hunters and dont forget your orange!!!! Best of luck to you and keep us posted with any questions you have.
