I was awarded a lottery hunt for the week of Oct 16 and was looking fro any info or experience from some of you guys on what to expect or areas to scout. I can find maps of bear island but that’s about it. In fact I’ve never hunted on WMA lands period just private land so this is new to me. It looks like a lot of marsh with a few trees on Google but maps are still not like being on the ground. It looks like long shots are possible also. Are there quality Bucks on this land? These are just a few of the questions I have. Any help would be great. Thanks In advance.

Lots of marsh with a few trees? Exactly. The Deer stay out in that marsh too, so hunt the edge of it. Lots of thick cover in some areas as well. Seen some nice Bucks back when I use to Rabbit hunt there.
Hunted there last season, a few deer were killed. That place certainly has some good bucks on it, get there EARLY to pick your hunting location. The Marsh is where to hunt but those spots get picked first. Lots of mosquitoes last year
Hey Control,bring your cast net,we have caught plenty of shrimp from the bank down there.We camped at the little campground and had shrimp on the barbecue. Last time I was there,it was open to the public and there was a lot of rowdy campers staying up all night.It may be different now but the deer seemed to move more after a few days of hunters saturating the woods???Good Luck.
