Cedar Creek WMA opening day dove hunt, typical crowded field poorly maintained with a cursory planting of sunflower in one field and some corn husks in the other. I believe that there were more hunters than actual doves. DNR made its grand appearance with 5 rangers in all brand new f150 trucks. In the field we hunted a young female ranger walked the perimeter checking licenses. All in all on a one to ten scale, one being no doves at all to ten being a barrel burner, id say it was a 3.
I guess with all of the money going for million dollar ranges at Clybel and other nonsensical wastes of money that the great minds of our Department of natural resources have spent, not much left for taking care of fields and actually managing the land. Most of us public land hunters refer to the acronym WMA, tongue in cheek, as Wildlife Missing Areas.
Not so long ago Cedar creek was a happening dove field especially opening day, now that most WMAs are quota only, the former of which all were open and used to alleviate the crowding on the one open public dove hunt in the area. I guess we could have driven to Perry Georgia, but thats also a mob scene with blazing sun and no cover.
Yep smoke and mirrors once again, the Georgia DNR does not disappoint......
