Bear Hollow WMA

[bswarchery]

Going to bow hunt Bear Hollow. Will be scouting then hunting areas of what I find is potentially good. Never been in this WMA, any ideas whether the open fields vs pinch point/water sources I see on onX are good? Looking at areas south of Lakeside camping site region. Not asking for your spots, just how accessible off the main paved road, and can I potentially drive onto a service road (graveled) to desired hunting areas?
Thanks guys!

We've been hunting down there for our annual hunting trip for about five years now. So far I've shot two doe and my friend has shot a doe and a small buck. There are several gravel roads that go deep into the different areas of the wma. All the fields and pressure are up top and the deer for the most part seem to travel down the sides of the mountain on the shelves. Now I will say the two deer I've shot were in one of the plots about ten minutes before end of legal light. We will be down there for the opener of rifle season and ill absolutely be in that field in the afternoons. Im not a great hunter so I couldn't imagine hunting that area with a bow after muzzleloader opens up. Not sure what unit you are from but I'm from unit L and always have to remind myself that it's one doe a day at that wma.
