Thread for Richland Creek WMA

[bowhunter247]

My group of 2 was drawn for the North Unit 10/16 - 10/25. This will be my first draw hunt. Any info shared to make this a successful hunt would be greatly appreciated. I plan on driving out in a couple weeks to do some scouting.

We will pull a small travel trailer and camp at the designated camping area on the North Unit. TBH members are welcome to drop in and introduce yourself.

Place has lots of water moccasins, bring your snake boots

I am curious about two things. Is there camping and are you allowed to come and go as you please once you are assigned a particular unit? I would like to scout and then set up and bait then hunt.

I am sure there are campgrounds near by.

You have to check in at the check station every time you plan to hunt and check out when you are not hunting. There are designated campgrounds near the check station, not sure how many spots or if they are already filled up for these new deer postcard hunts. In the other thread someone that works there said they are maybe not assigning units for the south unit hunt and just letting everyone have free reign over the place, not sure if that applies to the North unit.

OP you should change the title of this thread to Richland Creek North hunt

I hunted south last year on Special Permit Hunt. PM and I’ll share whatever I can. Beautiful place. Tough hunt to just drop in and expect to shoot a mature buck. Unfortunately October is a bit ahead of the rut. We hunted same time last year and the youngsters were just starting to slap heads. I used a pop up on a well beaten trail deep in the woods. Had a good 30-40 deer over the week in shooting distance. Small bucks and does. Raised my bow once in a three year old ten point and thought better of it. They’re serious about the 13” rule and I was really only I interested in a big boy. If your just looking to stick something, I think you gotta a good shot. 130”+, gonna take some luck.

Did they finally go to the 13" county regs there, it used to be 15" and this was long before the antler restrictions.

Been to Richland Hunting 11 times from Archery to youth to gun. Nothing but spectacular and never gone home empty handed. Will be there the 16th

[BOBCAT4119]

Let's here some updates! And good luck to kiddos hunting this weekend!

[Physhstyx]

Yeah let's see any Archery kills from Last week. I didn't make it up as family issues required me to stay home.

Hope others did or do well.
