If you wanna spot...You better get to the check in station early for deer season... But if you can get to the hard to reach spots by walking..You can get to some good deer.. They have alot of gates closed to drive in traffic..but you can walk around them to hunt... MY LAST TURKEY HUNT OUT THERE WAS A 2.4 MILE WALK FROM THE GATE. STILL HAD SOMEONE DRIVE PAST ME THAT DROVE IN ON THE POWERLINE I don't doubt it... I can still get to Peel Creek by taking a short cut...even though it's blocked off... And I no longer hunt there...

You just gotta hunt it like anywhere else, except take pressure into consideration. By the end of the season, pressure will be the single most important aspect of your decision making. I'm learning the wma as well, but have had plenty of experience on others. I'm seeing deer, but not a ton. It's hard work, I've passed a few small bucks, and am adjusting where I'm hunting for the moment.

There use to be a place with over 100 sawtooths planted in rows that the deer went nuts over early in bow season. That place is not what it use to be IMO. I've killed a fair amount of deer out there but I couldn't begin to give you any worthwhile advice now that it's changed so much. Heck, there used to be website that you could ask for advice on, not any more.
