We will be hunting Grand Bay for the first time. Could someone give me a description of what it is like? i.e., terrain, land, vegetation, camping area, and anything else you can think of. Thanks!

Out of the 8000 acres, I'd say only a third of that is not under water. If the federal side is closed and it often is you can cut the huntable land in half. Mostly pines and gallberries but there are a few scattered oaks. One thing to keep in mind is you cannot field dress or clean a deer or hog on the WMA.

Just read online that the federal side will not be open this season at all. State side is going to be more crowded than usual.

Appears to be closed only one weekend per month. Last time I remember it being closed during a hunt was opening weekend after 9/11. The state side was extremely crowded. The crowded hunts at grand bay are usually the best ones.

I use to love hunting that place cause very many people didn't hunt it. Along in the time I got some land and quit hunting it as much more and more started hunting till it got very crowded at times. Also have drove an hr down there to camp the weekend and it wind up closed or the key holder forgot to unlock the gate before he went home
