A lot of ppl on here seem to send BR folks to Shurburn WMA. You should kill a few there but nothing to talk about.

Really need a boat for Maurepas.
Look into Cat Island National Wildlife Refuge. Not sure on their regulations, but I've had several friends recommend it.

Cat island, head there! I forget about that place. My uncle and his buddies go once a year and destroy them. I've never been but will one of these days. As for Sherburne, stay closer to I-10. The woods headed north to 190 suck

Sherburne has a camping "area"
Don't expect flushing toilets

There are no water or electrical hookups. It's just a large flat area.

Gotta shoot steel at Cat Island.

Steel shot and fox squirrels don't mix.

Don't crowd anyone is about it. And if one sees you and hides, you can flush them out a lot of the time by shaking vines.

I wasn't aware you could print the clearing permits. Some of your wma's run out time to time. I would just hand write one. With that being said, if you can print one. I would (think) you would be good to go.
