Arrowhead WMA

Hey, does anybody know anything about Arrowhead WMA over around Rome? My first season trying a bow and this looks like a small WMA (400 acres) in a decent driving distance with a weeklong season. I've never heard of it. Was thinking of driving over within the next few weeks to take a look around. Being that small, if it gets a lot of "attention" there is probably no point in me going.... I'm tired of the WMA hunts where you're walking all over a zillion folks .... nature of the beast, though.....
 
Arrowhead is in Armuchee on floyd springs rd. I know for a fact that there have been some good deer taken off of private land all around that place. I grew up not 5 miles from there but never hunted it nor have I heard of anyone hunting there. Im sure they do but never paid that much attention. There are some real good deer in that area. just have to get out and scout. good luck.

I talked with my uncle this past weekend who said a fried of his hunted it once (first I'd ever heard about deer hunts there). Said he saw several deer but that a lot of people were hunting it as well.

They also have a short small game season - do you know if it gets hunted heavily then? Thanks for the info, by the way....

i scouted it two years ago found some sign but nothing great. it only opens for 1 week after christmas. deer movement is not the best then. rut is over. i walked about the whole area and jumped one deer. i would not think it would be crowded that time of year. you can walk the nature trails and scout any time i think. it would be great if they would open it up for a week during the rut in late oct. or early nov.

Never when you need it .... If I have time, I may check it out on a weekend. It's tough weighing options against available time .... thanks for the info....

I looked on the topo and found some good looking areas. I might try and scout it in December so I get a true picture.

Thanks for replying. Something about pulling a string in 30 degrees.
