Hi gang,
I normally hunt at the Cahaba WMA because it is near my home. I have been thinking about trying out the Oakmulgee WMA as it isn't terribly far. As I began looking into it I realized that the WMA is right next to and possibly somewhat overlapping with a piece of the Talladega National Forest.
So for those familiar with that area I was wondering if you might help me to understand what are the advantages and disadvantages of one area over the other? I have never hunted on US forest land before.
The WMA of course has some additional licensing, but I will have paid for that already.
It seems like the WMA would have a lot of other restrictions that Talladega would not, as far what you can hunt and when.
Are there other considerations that you could help me to understand? Hunting pressure, game abundance, access, etc.?
There is just so much area between the two, and a 40 mile drive to get there, that I would love to narrow my scouting to one property or the other if possible.
Thank you for your insight.
