Hey I drew the same hunt! I'm going 11/28-11/30. I've only hunted there once, and the compartment I was in was tough hunting. Lot of dry leaves that gave me away every time I took a step. The terrain is rolling with some thick brush and some more open hillsides.
Hunter success there has been pretty low, but I can't wait to go!

If it's 'poached' it's on the surrounding land or the poachers have to cross some serious country to get into Gus. All the entry ways are locked nitely and all the wardens\rangers live within a 5 minute drive from there.
So gunfire at night in the area would send up multiple red flags and I've never heard of anybody poaching at night with a bow!
There are some seriously big deer at GE, lots of does, lots and lots of pigs,and even alligators in the swamp!
I think its one of the hardest and most fun WMA's to hunt and this will be my 6th year in a row! I'm pretty pumped about it.
