Hey Tsubaki!!

They will issue a permit when you check in.
Present ID (drivers license) and hunting license (to include big game and be sure you have the deer harvest record) during check in.
The bike depends on you. You are just as tired when you get to the destination if you had walked, you just got there faster.
In all honesty you would probably get more out the experience if you brought a cart or the like to tote your stuff and walk.
Firewood, dead down wood only.
Had a group from Florida came a few times. On their first trip, they brought a chainsaw. While the resident manager was at our camp shooting the breeze, they cranked up the chainsaw.
Being told they could only cut dead wood, the one with the chainsaw walks over to a dead pine tree (that is as big as they can get) and fells it




across 3 of their 4 tents.
I turn to the manager, discretely point in their direction and say "lumberjacks", that is forever their names.

You are allowed to show up the day before the hunt and pitch camp. At (historically) noon the day before the hunt you are allowed to scout and place stands (look at the map, a portion of the island is private property, you may pass directly through but not hunt).

willy, did you read the last pm I sent you entitled "Put this in your pipe"?


blue, Blackbeard Island (October 22-24 and December 3-5) is another good one, archery only. My cousin has been trying to get me to go for years but I've already got 4 weeks off planned for hunting trips from November to January.
