of the 4 wma's close to me croom is the farthest, only been there once and wasn't wild about it. chazz is closest and it's just ok, been there about 6 times and passed on a few deer. homosassa is app 25 minutes and really like the place but only hunted it twice this year as I prefer the private land even though there is less game, I normaly have the 400+ acres to myself. had the most fun/got the biggest kick and had the most laughs getting "MUCKED" the other day than I ever had dragging a dead animal anywhere.
forgot citrus, maybe the best of the 4, good simple n/s,e/w trails,good amount of game, but can be crowded at times/places.
It angers me to hear about your last lease. It's really sad but some of these landowners prey on the unknowing, non-local hunter and get them to lease a small percentage of their land for a premium.. when in reality, it's no better than the normally much larger dog lease and the still hunter could've joined the adjacent dog lease for much cheaper and hunted 10x or more land with less game restrictions.
Hope you find a lease.
