West Point

[Tim noTebow]

First year bow hunter and only have access to public land. I hunted Joe Kurz as it’s the closest to me with no success but they are now closed for deer season. Thinking of heading to West Point this week to get some hunting in but I’d be going in blind. Anybody here had/have any success at West Point? Trying to see if it’s worth the hour + drive or if I should target a different WMA.

You can also hunt on Corp. of Engineers land that way with a $25 permit. I'm sure if you ask one of the office people when you buy it they can steer you in. the right direction.

If you want a Corps hunting permit it’s over the phone only right now. Don’t waste your time driving to the office. West Point WMA is fine. Corps land is harder to access.

Thanks for the info guys!

Dixie creek near West Point is archery only and I’ve always heard good things about it

I’ve hunted Corps of engineers in Lagrange for years... haven’t been in 3 seasons since I moved but if you know which pockets to hunt it’s pretty nice and remote.

Otherwise be prepared to set up and see 6 or so fellows wandering around... hahaha

The main WMA is not open for hunting right now. You still have the Dixie creek and Glover's tract if you want to go bow only. Plenty of access via COE land ,but most will require a boat.

I was just on OnX scouting those spots out. Have you ever had any success from those areas? Trying to see if it'll be worth the drive or to focus my time in other areas

I've killed deer all around the lake. As far as Dixie vs. Glover's, Dixie gets much more pressure due to access. Glover's is going to require a ton of walking to get where you want to be.

What is the timber like on Dixie and Glovers? From regular satellite it looks like a a lot of pine with a little hardwood. Picture not as clear as some.
