looking to start hunting in Mulberry Fork WMA this year but never been there before. Anyone know the area or willing to share any info. Looking to bow hunt only.

Invest in some good climbing gear

is the terrain rough?

not if your a mountain goat

that stinks. im gonna go check it out before the season comes in and see if I can find somewhere that's not so rugged.

Where do you live?

Chilton county but im in walker county most of the time staying with my girlfriend. its only about 20 min. from her house so I figure that would be my best hope for hunting this year since im no longer in a club.

I used to hunt oakmulgee a lot only been to mulberry a time or two. You may be able to find something there are def some deer up that way.

I hunted there about 3 yrs ago , was alot of deer then but havnt hunted there since. I have a neighbor thats works in that area , he says alot of it has been logged on the Highhill rd side . most of the bigger deer are killed on the other side toward Tusc. county side which is called Tiger mines area. Go by chek station , should have maps there , hope this helps.

thank you. at this point any tips will help.

The closer you can get to the river without coming in by boat and the farther you're willing to walk to get away from everyone the better your chances. At one time I don't know if its still true, but the largest deer ever to come off a management area in the state came from mulberry. I've seen a 140 inch 8 point from there and several other 110 to 130's to come out of there. They were killed by people I work with that hunt mulberry. They killed everyone of them on gun hunts. They walk way back in there and let pressure from the people coming in off the roads and coming off the river push the deer over them. They don't go in there blind they get out, scout and know where those deer are. That's the key put your boots on the ground and finding them.

didn't get a chance to turkey hunt there this year but im gonna try to do some scouting before the season starts for sure.

Invest in some snake chaps if you already haven't there are a lot of those rasklers as my neighbor refers to down there. Everyone else in the U.S. calls them rattlesnakes. Get off in those hollows and get bit you can probably kiss it goodbye.

I walked around five miles and drive about 50 throughout the wma and found nothing but thick trees and steep hills. anyone know where there are mature trees you can hunt in?

Missouri has big trees I think

Ive found pleanty of deer and hog sign in there but only sat n a tree twice. I hunt bankhead now.got my limit in 3 days last yr. i cnt remember the road name i hunted but u can kill deer in mulberry i promise u that

Mulberry fork is an Excellent place too hunt loaded with deer and Turkeys

They are not in the deer management business, but in the tree growing business. If you see oak trees on level ground they probably will be gone soon.

Tons of deer and turkey's there. The terrain is rough and the cover is thick. There are hardwoods in the SMZs and along the river, but that's not where the deer are.

Used to be good deer and turkey population. Poster earlier was exactly correct - bigger deer are often killed there on the gun hunts (one around Christmas if memory serves me correct). There are some areas where you can ride a bicycle behind a gate and get back into an area pretty far... but check the map to make sure the areas aren't accessible very easy from another direction (made that mistake a couple of times). Look for heavy trails that will be used as escape routes into thicker cover and best of luck.
