Thank you John for that detailed write up. I plan to use your information next month when I go for the last archery hunt period at GSP. Hopefully I can be lucky enough to harvest one of those elusive Axis.

"The hunter in compartment 3 baited with Chaffhaye and at one point had some Axis coming at him from a strong upwind down a game trail and when they saw the Chaffhaye they stomped, snorted, and ran off. He said it was likely that they detected his ground scent, but wasn't sure if the bait made them more nervous or not."
Having been there only for the exotic gun hunt, I would say it's the latter. Chaffhaye and alfalfa is not year round forage. It's likely that group has linked those things to hunters in the area. Just my opinion that's not worth 0.5 cents.

Did you lodge at the park or somewhere else?

The site was nice with electricity and water and about 50 yds from a hot shower with good water pressure every evening. It was my first time to camp in 20 years and I had no issues aside from packing up camp in the sleet. The only negative to camping where i did is that it was as far from the park entrance as possible and you have to drive out of the park to get to all of the archery units. It just meant i was leaving camp 10m before i would have had to if I had camped closer to the front gate. There are numerous private cabins for rent in the area as well if you don't want to stay in the park.
