Private land inside a WMA

Some land was just purchased inside a WMA. The land is right in the middle of the WMA. The nearest road is a mile away. The WMA has only one road in with a gate.
Would the private land owner have rights to come and go through the main gate at any time? WMA rules states the gate closes at a certain time. Or at least you are supposed to be out of the WMA at a certain time.
How about an access trail from the road to the private land? Can one be put in? Who would do that? The state, the owner, or both?
The land has been sitting idle for many years witout anyone on it.
We had a few acres years ago in a Federal Wildlife area. It already had a makeshift road in place. I know they gave us access to our land but the access was already there. The way in and out also was not trough a single point like the WMA mentioned above.

In AL, no one, including the gov, is obligated to give you access if your property is land locked.

It may depend on the agency and the state.
My place in Desoto NF in MS had an old logging road that was not a legal right of way, but we have an agreement that allows me to use it and maintain it.

Don't know about the road but I can't imagine trying to keep people from trespassing. Especially the type of hunter that tends to use WMAs.
