does anyone know if the park has the gear to clean a deer... like the leg spreaders, or rope, or a cleaning station? I’ll be there solo in October.
Any advice? Do we need to bring our own pop up blinds? I’ve done a ton of TBH/Google searches... but there’s not a whole lot of information. Are the compartments first come, first serve or is it a drawing?

Coach - did you go in October or in January? I’d imagine it’s a different kind of hunting but kind of disappointing that you didn’t see more. Like the comment above... I figured there’d be more than a few, maybe not necessarily covered up in the park itself since they don’t run any feeders out there but enough to make it interesting and enjoyable.
Did you camp there?

I went a long time ago on the doe/spike hunt. I actually saw deer but they didn't come out until late. I was way in the back. Saw one really great buck. Lots of deer in the camp area at night. Axis was killed. The problem is people shoot the first thing they saw. People shooting deer smaller than my 45 pound dog.
Why would a deer go to the park with all the pressure when they can eat at feeders across the fence.

does anyone know how the compartments are assigned? is it a drawing once everyone shows up?
Also, if you bring your own blind do you still have to hunt where their’s is or do you have free range within your little area? I’m curious if you can scout and setup deeper into the woods or if you’re confined to the one little shooting lane they put you at.
just realized I’m hijacking this thread. sorry OP. lots of good insight though.
