[QUOTE="TAFKAP, post: 4969175, member: 7776"] Here's the layout of Shelby Forest's walk-in spots. This view is from the west, looking east, as if you're hovering over the MS River. The bright red is a very steep bluff, appx. 150' - 200' elevation drop in a very short distance. From there is about a 200 yard trudge through flooded cypress swamp. Once you get to the bottom of the bluff, cell service disappears. Holes #9 and #7 are small (appx. 2 acres), and are each about 200-250 yards from #8, which is probably closer to 3-4 acres. Hole #6 is about 500 yards south of #7, and is more a wide open slough more than an opening in the swamp. So there's not much room to expand access here without really crowding it out. Including my first hunt in 2016, I've only drawn there twice. This is the second year in a row none of my group of 5 has pulled a spot there. Despite its difficulty, it's becoming a pretty sought-after location. There aren't many areas to expand access here, but the Wolf River WMA in Fayette County could sure benefit from a similar program to Thorny Cypress or Bogota.
