Anyone hunted Yanahli WMA recently?

Dad talked me into going on a muzxleloader hunt with him. Wasn't  hard, I had been looking for a chance to hunt with him.

Seems he goes to Yanahli every year except the last couple. We never did growing up. 

Anyone have this or last season's experience there? We will not get to scout due to my schedule and distance. I just wonder how it is.

Also, as I read it, I can carry my pistol because of my permit during archery and muzzleloader season on the WMA. Am I right?

Thanks

So how was your hunting?

What section did you hunt?

We jumped one going in the first afternoon but it was in thick brush. Saw 3 does the morning and heard a buck snort us out twice. No shot at the does. They stayed behind trees on the next ridge almost like they knew we were there. The last morning was POURING rain, so we just headed home. 6 hours home in wet clothes would not be my idea of fun. 

So good trip with my Dad, Saw some fox squirrels too. No meat on the table though. More deer than I have ever seen in the woods at once. Growing up was days and days of staring at empty woods. Kinda one reason I got away from hunting.

I don't know exactly what side we were on, but the fields were all grown up 6 foot tall. Dad said in past years they were bushhogged and he hunted the edge with good success. We only saw one other hunter and he was headed out as we went in the first day.
