Considering buying a property that borders North Chickamauga Creek Gorge State Natural Area. Is that open to hunting; or only the WMA? I've searched; and can't find anything that says you can or can not hunt on it.

It's not a huge property at less than 10 acres; but if there's no hunting I could potentially clear the back of it and put a food plot in that I would think should do pretty well
 
it used to be open just like the wma, tue., thurs., and sat.. walk in only. but after looking at it now it doesnt look like it. would be nice to no when they took it away from us.
 
Open to the Public - Full Access.


Public access is provided in the gorge (formally the Bowater Pocket Wilderness Area) where there are picnic tables and eight miles of hiking trails. On the upland portion (plateau), there is access to ten miles of hiking trails.

I called twra last year about it to verify that you could not hunt it because some of the regulations are a little hazy on the WMA map, and he was very sure there was no hunting allowed and that they were trying to get all the regulations cleared up on it so it clearly states that there is no hunting allowed and that somebody had made a mistake on the description of the WMA map.
