[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5922264, member: 1409"] I hunted it in 2016 and found it very crowded with hunters. Counting myself, there were 3 hunters in my group. The other 2 didn't even see a deer while hunting, and most of what I saw was the 1st morning. It was apparently a great place to archery hunt for a top-end mature buck during its first few years as a WMA. Probably remains better than most WMAs for archery hunting, so the question is whether forfeiting other draw hunts for nearly 2 decades is worth it for one 3-day archery hunt on PI. In the same time span of 15 to 20 years, you could be drawn 15 to 20 times on other WMAs, with many of those other quota hunts being with a gun instead of archery. I decided not to try again, in part because of my age, in part because I question whether PI will even be a WMA 15 - 20 years from now. Also, the entire island is not a WMA, and there is "statewide" rifle deer hunting on the island (on a few hundred acres of private property). [/QUOTE]
