Got my notice in today that I had been picked for one of the Sicily Island WMA lottery hunts. Got picked two years ago but had terrible weather the whole time. Excited for a new chance. Also my hunting buddy got selected for another weekend as well.
Hope you have good weather this trip and a successful hunt.
Good Luck! Congrats on the draw. Post up some pic's of a biggun!
I got my letter in the mail yesterday for my 2nd choice. I got Tunica Hills North track for the 2nd weekend of season. We have gotten picked (5 of us) for about 10 years in a row now. Good luck to yall!
I Haven't received my letter yet but my buddy that i sent off with got his yesterday. We were selected for the Sherburne WMA mon-wed hunt.
What has been yalls sucess rate on the Louisiana Lotto WMA's hunts? In the 10 years we have only killed 1 jake and had 2 misses on the same longbeard (wild longbeard), the same day, about 400 yards from the check station & truck. The jake was a tame turkey that had wondered off from the Angola State Penatentary. The guy that killed it was a rookie and didn't realize what was happening.............. He called up 11 turkeys, 10 of them was jakes and he couldn't figure out why they wouldn't run off after he killed the 1. The one he killed weighed 28 pounds and had feet as big as a Emu!

LOL ! That's pretty funny !! I killed 1 nice longbeard and had 1 miss on lottery hunts. Got drawn the last 3 years, but we did go about 3 years in a row of not getting drawn.
:icon_thumright: Congrats and good luck. I'm still waiting on my notice in N.J. My zone usually fills up first,I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The funny part was prolly the expression on the biologist's face when he was reading the report on the check out tag we put in the drop box! I even called them about 2 weeks later I told the guy it was true...........
I got mine in the mail today for Tunica Hills south tract in April. The letter said that all hunters on the tract must have a GPS because they are studying hunter movement and it's effect on turkeys.seems like an interesting study. Anyone with advice on the hunting there? I've never been there.
Good luck!!
me and the wife got ours in for sherburne couple days ago. Anyone have any knowledge of the area. Never been there.
Cool. Good Luck
