Hunting Wildlife Management Areas?

Good and bad:
Good- killed some nice deer off of ‘em (Ben’s Creek, Pearl River, Copiah Co.) You know you’ve done something if you get a decent sized one.
Bad: People strolling through your area around 8:00am then again at 9:00am. Having a big pile people dung with flagging used as toilet paper near where you hunt.

Bad: stolen deer

Depends on what you hunt, for a woodcock hunter it is a very good gig, but there is much less hyunting pressure than a deer hunter and I don't have to worry about someone else messing up my area...

Deer hunting in a WMA is tough. Especially if it is one you don't hunt all the time.
It will have regulars. They will know you are out of your element.

Good: (Old Georgia Pacific WMA) Killed limits of mallards more times than not.
Bad:(Sherburne WMA) had people walk in after daybreak with just their guns and setup across from me on my decoy spread.

I like the NWRs much better. More limited access, and easier to predict where people are. Plus, you have to buy something to get in.

I have hunted the same area for 4-5 years and not seen another hunter. Thanksgiving weekend had a group of six hunters get lost around us and walk all through the woods back and forth until daylight. I left my stand there and went back last weekend and there was an old pile of used toilet paper right under my stand.

Good - it is free (well I am sure we pay for it, but you know what I mean); if you're willing to put in the work, you can bag some really nice animals; after opening weekend, most people leave; there is always somewhere new to try out
Bad - all of your hard work can be undone in a split second by a complete stranger; if you do kill something remarkable and people find out, your spot is ruined for the rest of the year; you can't build a blind/leave a stand so every day you are starting over
