Bow Hunting Whittingham WMA

[Vaportrail]

I`ll probably get a lot of laughs over this one but I was wondering if someone could PM me an give me a starting point to bow hunt Whittingham, WMA.  I appreciate it.

Although I'm sure it gets pounded, I see lots of buck and general deer sign there every time I pheasant hunt.  Check your PMs on places to start based only on my observations, not from hunting it myself.  Give me a few minutes...

I will put you on a spot that i found last year coyote hunting.  Seemed to hold a decent amount of deer post season, had a lot of sign from rut also, and held a real good buck last year.  I will just never hunt it for deer.  Ill pm you my number

Be mindful of the posted signs. You dont want to be the fifth guy I have to bury in that swamp. 🤐

If you go up the hill in the wrong spot you will see Nick!  By the way those posted signs on that side Nick either aren't there anymore or have vegetation covering them.

It's a really tough place to bow hunt in the winter due to the lack of cover and they are pretty skittish after being pressured for 5 months

Just speaking from 40+ plus years exsperience.Don't waste your time there like most Wildlife Management areas you do not pattern the deer they pattern you the deer sign there is all nighttime!

Gun hunted it a couple times.  Most deer I saw were next to the parking lot at night.  They must have had come from the houses across the street.

From the side of those condos I remember when they were built and back parking lot across from the ranger station up the hill with the Sheep.Back then that ranger station the white house they let me walk back an see em,all cooped in the backyard full of pheasants they did a great job of dispersing them all over, those were the days!Oh an the fox,they had a field day.

One Thing i’ve Learned so far with a public WMA, find where they go in and out of the WMA and try and catch them first or last light.
