That's a new WMA LA just bought. Open to the public, just have to hop the fence.

yep, the State bought some 200" breeder bucks from Iowa and put them in there too. Also, you're allowed to hunt at night.

Its near Global Wildlife in Folsom. Fence system looks old and not well kept. Is that an old hunting club?

Indeed, it is the old Zemurray Gardens...it used to be open to the public until 2005 thanks to Katrina. People in the area told me the Reimers family owns it now, and it was originally settled by the Joiners way way back in the day. There is a book called "The Fish That Ate the Whale" about Samuel Zemurray's banana farms and Zemurray's dealings in battling and conquering the United Fruit Company.

It's now privately owned and borders farmland. It's no longer a DMAP as of late-they just cut timber and hunt on it. A lot of deer typcially bust out of there to eat on neighboring properties during the winter as those local farmers (beef and/or dairy) typically plant rye grass, although they have automated feeders spread throughout the Zemurray property. I happen to know a handful of men who hunt out there.

EDIT: Yes, to answer your question about it being a hunting club, I just asked my cousin who's from the area, and he told me the people who hunt it live out of state and come down once/twice a year to hunt and are part-owners of it.

Night vision scopes allowed ?

there have been some big deer taken off that property.

Very good deer are still taken, but not as regularly as pre-Katrina. Brother-in-law was a longtime member until Katrina came through.

Oh yeah, definitely. Bro-in-law definitely wishes he was still there.
