    Inks Lake/Longhorn Caverns

    I got picked for the doe/antlerless hunt in Dec. Has anyone ever hunted there? How is the best way to hunt there?

    Gig 'em.

    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.

      TXJon,

      Thanks for the tips. I may bring my son to sit with me as I put his name on the application. Do they have 2 man stands?

      Thanks,

        The ones I saw were plywood box blinds, plenty big for two.

          I guess you have to hunt in the blind, but I would think they would allow you to scout a little bit so you know where to put corn.

          Thanks again,

            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.

              They had corn for sale there, too. Two or three pound bags. Not much, but plenty for a day's 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.

                    There is such a high deer density, if you stalked in your section, you would definately see deer, that is if they let you get out of the blind.....
