I went last year. They will assign you a blind. You can bait, but you need to bring a new, sealed bag of corn, and that corn has to have information about the aflatoxin levels printed on the bag, or they won't let you use it.
The success rate for the group I was with went well over 100%. That was in January of this year.
I hunted there 3 years ago (or more?). I saw one doe for about 2 seconds in 2 days. Low success during my hunt period. The warden that dropped us off said a few deer had been killed out of the blind that I had been assigned. Mebbe that's why that doe was skittish.
This was a January hunt.
I hunted there 4-5 years ago. We camped in the park, each morning we woke up to 20 deer standing 10 yards outside our camper. Then we were taken across the street to sit on a bucket for 3 days and saw nothing. My brother-in-law saw a medium sized doe for about 2 seconds and shot it.
The blinds have buckets to sit on. No stands. Pretty tight quarters, you can't roam around at all, not a lot of acreage. Sorry, but sitting on an assigned bucket for 19 hours over 3 days just isn't my idea of hunting, or "getting away". If I want to be told where to sit, I'll stay home and let my wife be in charge.
My biggest gripe is all the deer are in the park eating by the lake.
