Get a map of thr wma from outdooralabama.com, pull up google earth. Find some spots that look promising based on aerial maps. Go put boots on the ground and find some deer sign in those spots you internet scouted. Hunt.

Don't... Just don't do that to yourself. And if you're stupid enough to go anyways, be prepared for a ton of excercise and very few deer seen. When I say very few, I mean you're doing well to see a deer

I agree you won't see much out there, but there are some monsters out there. I killed the biggest buck I have ever killed in my life at Cahaba. Know there are some monsters living on that place!

Missed a 140 class Monday morning. Still upset about it. You won't see a lot of deer but yes there are some monsters out here. I recommend what they said previously and scout your butt off. Find some good sign and setup close to creek bottoms on the ridge slopes. The creeks themselves aren't very active. Also try out pine thickets next to bedding areas such as 4 year old overgrowth.

I use to hunt over on the Pea Ridge side, saw deer numerous times but the lawless trash over there drove me away.


Please explain...this should be good.

Does anyone know if I can still bowhunt Cahaba during the youth gun hunt this coming weekend? The rules seem to indicate that it is closed for bowhunting this coming weekend if I am reading that correctly.

No worries. I have learned a lot about the WMA from the rest of you on here. Starting to see more deer.

I need to know the same thing. I bow hunted during both youth and gun last year and was even checked by the warden and all was good. I think you just need to meet the orange requirement. I see the rule your talking about but I think that needs more explanation. Last year there wasnt a sole out here for youth, at least where I hunt so I would hate to not be able to hunt when no youth are hunting either.

I emailed the game warden office and they said the refuge area is still open to bowhunt but the rest is closed.

Is that how it has always been or is this no bowhunting during the youth hunt thing a new rule?

Most kids don't want to hike a half mile and not see a deer either! Could use an area to qouta hunt for youth around check in station with extra food plots.
