I believe it's open with season. Only draw hunts are the elk permits.

North Cumberland WMA is made up of the Royal Blue unit, Sundquist unit, Newriver unit, and Brimstone units. Pay close attention to the regs as they aren't the same as statewide or individual counties.

It really that bad?
Let me put it this way. I live there (as you can tell by my name). I would heavily advise against it. Again, WMA is big enough to get away from the prior folks i talk about, however your problem then is getting your deer out unless you butcher it right there. also, these side by siders like to shoot into the woods while they ride (not at anything in particular btw), so good luck with that.

Have to have 4x4?
Not necessary. I wouldn't personally do it, but not necessary. Check out the New River unit near Brushy Mountain. Lots of land to get away from people up there. I used to hunt that area a lot and I saw deer just about every time I went. Beautiful country. Rough, but beautiful. There are a ton of hogs up there too.

And it's public land?

Drive by Brushy Mountain Prison. You'll go to the top of the mountain and come down the other side. Go several miles and there will be a coal processing plant on the right. Turn left on the gravel road just passed it. More land up that road than you would ever be able to hunt. You'll see the WMA sign once you go up that road a little way.

Right passed Beech Grove Church on Hwy 116 is another road that I've killed several deer on. The road is rougher than Gum Branch, but you can get up there a ways in a 2WD. Google Earth will be your best friend finding places to hunt up there.
