Definitely my favorite. When you scout you usually see deer and you rarely get skunked at Joe Kurz. You usually see deer every time you hunt. I highly recommend the bow hunt in November. It has good genetics and is surrounded by farms. It would be nice to see the 100 inch to 110 inch bucks that get smoked every year get a pass but thats not going to happen on any wma .

What's the headache about it?
It is still an above average WMA. I agree with Bowdawg that the potential is there for it to be amazing.

Waterfowl hunting it with all the recent changes to whats considered private water it is very challenging to hunt the river

Well with it being close to metro Atlanta and in a good county, I may have to try it. Haven't been on a quota hunt in almost a dozen years.

Plenty of deer there. I enjoy going when I get drawn. I wished they’d go back to the old rules though. Lots of 2.5y/o 8pts get killed now on that WMA.

Did they have the spread and main beam rule at one time?

Yes

Just picked up some regs and the weeks have changed for this years hunts. The second bow hunt is Oct 31 - November 7. Usually the second bow hunt follows the second gun hunt and runs November 7-15. The second gun hunt is earlier this year . This is a big deal. Most of the bucks that are harvested come from the second gun hunt . In theory a large percentage of 2 year olds that usually get smoked will make it to next year.

I liked it a lot a couple of years ago before they cut so many roads through the property. Their aren't many places that are hard to get to anymore

I have seen pics of some huge Rattlers killed near Joe Kurz so go ahead and assume they are there.

It’s very crowded. Wish they would drop the quota down to at least 75 per hunt.

Nope, they are all perfectly safe to eat.

I do too wish they would trim the quota down but I will say the place hunts big the way it’s laid out. Have to figure out a way to save the 2 yr old 8 points from getting blasted would be great

I used to hunt it pretty regular during bow season. Never many people there during the week. The quota hunts for me ended up like quota hunts anywhere else, but I've always seen deer.

Got drawn for the first hunt.
