Just wanted to say thank you for all your work in helping this hunt happen and information you provided.

You've been very helpful!

Ditto!

I have talked to a few hunters who hunted last week with dismal deer sightings and an overall unfavorable "hunting" experience. Two different hunters scouted "all day" their scout day (9AM - 4PM), hunted another full day (day 1 of their hunt), threw in the towel, left early, drove home and went back to work. Keeping it in context, it's early season, full foliage woods, limited visibility, no agriculture (where they hunted), no acorns found, and temps were above normal. This is a snapshot in time and should not be construed as an overall assessment for the remainder of the hunts. Acorns and favorable temperatures could very well change the experience going forward.

Don't know a thing about it. But I'm sure later in the year it's bound to improve some.

Anyone have any updates on the hunts?

I hunted the sep 28-30th. Took a day to find the deer but saw my fair share in easy range, but no shooters. Not gonna shoot a doe when it's 91 degrees either.

Lots of coyotes and coyote sign.

I learned a bunch about the place. It was the most unique area I've ever hunted.

Looks like a flop

I was thinking I had not heard the place mentioned in a while. A lot of talk right after the drawings and then crickets.

I got sick on my original draw and missed out. My daughter got the juvy hunt and we had a blast. Saw a lot of does and 2 bucks. She shot a doe to get one under her belt for the year.
