Yeah I got a stand-by permit there about 6 or 7 years ago. They assigned me the compartment along the west side of Davey Crockett Lake. I didn't see or hear any birds in 2 days of hunting. I had applied a couple hours earlier that morning at Pat Mayse but they weren't doing any stand-by permits but the guy said I might get one at Caddo WMA so I rushed over there and got one(permit). It sucks because I see birds almost EVERY time I'm deer hunting at Pat Mayse! The eastern birds they stocked love that WMA. It's hard to draw a permit or get a stand-by at Pat Mayse though. I believe the birds at Caddo are Rios. I wasn't aware there was a draw hunt at Cooper? I've never seen any birds around the lake.

Turkeys at Caddo
North units at Caddo were under a prescribed burn this past Friday, not sure about Saturday and Sunday, drove 68 miles to find warning signs posted at sign in points, all stating the burn was to start on 4-03-09, it would have been nice to have somekind of notice on TPWD website indicating the scheduled burn, nonetheless I was able to hunt further south and video some turkey (hen) did not see any gobblers.IMPORTANT NOTICE: No media files are hosted on these forums.

Yes, but...
Good amount of huntable toms, but just like any WMA, ya gotta scout scout scout, then get there first. Also, last few years, birds have been roosting on neighboring private properties. So hunting borders is key. But be respectful to other hunters, shouldn't have to be mentioned but WMA's are starting to be filled in inconsiderate people.
