Yuchi WMA

[Trickwrm]

Any of you guys have any advice on how to hunt the Yuchi WMA? My cousin got drawn for it next weekend and weve never even seen it. I really appreciate the help!

I have never hunted it, but you can get a pretty good idea of the terrain on Google earth.

 

[Trickwrm]

Yeah man I've done a little looking on there just never put boots on the ground.

Bow time on this one

If he is gonna do any scouting he should check out the road that goes down behind the checking station. It's been a few years since my son got drawn on it but I think the gates are closed until the morning of the hunts. I'm pretty sure they open the gates on the morning of the hunts. It will be a pretty good walk but go down the road until you see the bit ridge on the left. There will be a pull off/parking area. Walk in there and check out behind that thicket and the big ridge.

Awesome! Thanks Sir! From what I understand you are correct about them not allowing people on the land until the actual hunt.

 

[BRamsey]

I was thinking they have a scouting day but I don't think they open the gates for it. I could be thinking about a different place though.

You can scout anytime as long as there's not a big game hunt going on.

How did you do Trickwrm?

 

[Trickwrm]

Got stuck working this past weekend so I had to stay on base down in Georgia so we didn't make it to yuchi but my cousin stuck a nice 8 up in middle tennessee at his place. I hate we didn't get to hunt I was really looking forward to it but what uncle Sam says, goes. For a few more weeks anyway.

Hit the ridges. My son killed a nice nine point and we saw several other shooter bucks that morning. The bucks hit the ridges at daylight
