Dawn, I hope not. Didn't even think about it until now. Wish I would have called earlier today

For what it's worth, I did call LDWF today to ask an unrelated question. I asked specifically about a WMA I was interested in, and they did not mention anything about it being closed. Now, that doesn't mean it's open necessarily, but I would hope they would have said something about it being closed. I did not mention that I was planning on heading out tomorrow, but it was implied since we were talking about dove hunting and he mentioned the recent rain that could hamper the dove numbers.

I called every number I could find and no one answered. Emailed the guy at Sandy Hollow yesterday with no reply yet, and went to the office on Quail Drive and it was closed.
