The hunting sucks compared to 5-10 years ago. Best advice I was ever given was to never, ever, under any circumstances, allow RSA to be your only place to hunt (thanks Jughead!). Have a primary place and a backup place or three to hunt because you will get hosed by the politics and bureaucracy out there.
Also, there are way too many bow hunters out there so you may as well hunt Wheeler or one of the nearby WMAs if bow hunting is your thing.
Shutting an area down for the season is bummer, but it is nothing compared to seeing an office park being built on it seeing how Huntsville has such a dearth of available office space within 5 minutes of the main gate.
But hey, it is a military installation and not a hunting preserve for military and civilian employees so what can you do but find a better place to hunt.
