As stated in the 2012 Guide, "3880 acres primarily on islands and access areas on Watts Bar lake."
Three islands are listed specifically...Iron Hill, Long Island, and Thief Neck.
Does this mean other islands like Half Moon/Goat are off limits? I've tried calling the WMA manager listed in the guide multiple times but I've never been able to get in touch with him for clarification.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks, I gave them a call. The gentlemen I spoke to said unless the other areas (islands, etc.) are specifically listed that he "assumed" it would be legal to hunt there, and statewide seasons/regs would apply. I don't really feel comfortable with that answer, as there's no guarantee another officer would have the same opinion.
Guess I'm still looking for better confirmation as to what lands/islands are considered part of the WMA, and which are legal to hunt.
