Title says most of it, but I love to bow hunt from a climber, and can't quite figure out the boundaries just from a map. Anyone with experience want to help a newbie?

I'm happy to answer any questions you have about Cahaba. I started hunting it regularly last year. It is surprisingly not that hard to find a secluded spot during the bow hunts. I never go on the gun hunts though. Pea Ridge is the best poster to talk to on here about Cahaba. He lives there and knows every inch of it. I think you will have a hard time getting someone to take you to their spots though. Cahaba requires a lot of walking and scouting and most people are not going to give away their spots.

I would never ask anyone to give any spots up, I just need some help as to where actual boundaries are since I doubt there are any signs posted.

The boundaries are well marked with yellow WMA signs.

Depending on where you are, that would be a negative. Some boundaries are well marked, some are not marked at all

If you are in clear cuts or young pines where there are more hunters and gas workers than deer...it is probably the cahaba WMA wink

I have found the link below to be very useful. It will load through Google Earth (on a computer, probably not a phone). You can see the boundaries overlaid with the aerial photography. This file is at least a couple years old though, so be sure to compare it to the 2015/16 maps as a couple spots might have slightly changed.

If you put in the scouting work and get very proficient with google satellite maps, you should be able to find the boundaries. Usually it is either marked with yellow paint or you can tell based on timber changes along the lines. If you are worried about venturing off the WMA, then don't hunt near the borders. There is plenty of land to go around during the bow hunts.

My best advice is to drive an extra 10 or 20 minutes and hunt the western side. That part has much less pressure than the Alabaster side.

Thanks Joe, that helps a lot. I'm not necessarily looking to kill any Giants, just maybe a doe or two for meet. I know I have to put in the time, and I will. Thanks for the help so far guys.

If you've got a smart phone just download the onx map. Free for the first week then 30 a year after that. It'll tell you who owns any property in the state with boundaries and tax info


We will burn that bridge when we get there

Thanks for nothing! I just found out that probably 95% of my scouting and hunt time last year was off property! Now I have to start all over!

I'm moving to Birmingham and will more than likely be joining the masses tromping around cahaba, hopefully sooner than later.
