The last I heard there were 10 applications for every 1 spot available. Some people self select. The letter that came with the permits said there were 8 people that were drawn but disqualified because they didn't turn in their survey forms.

I've been scouting at Benbrook the last couple week. Seen a couple does in person, even in the middle of the day when it was 100+, which is always a good sign. Got several legal 8 points on camera and found a shed that had 7 points on it!!! As of last week, they were all still in full velvet, hoping this cooler weather will get them rubbing.
Side note, someone out there has been tampering with one of my cameras. I followed the trail down a little further into the brush to find someones hidden tree stand which really ticked me off. Assuming that it belongs to whoever was messing with my camera...
Rules are rules regardless of how silly they seem. Issues like having stands out there when its not your hunt will get this hunting area shut down.

Benbrook removes stands illegally placed if they know about them. Seen them out there before doing that when out scouting.

Originally posted by Whiskey Hunter View PostAlso, I just looked through the rules. It doesn't say anything about not being able to have your blinds up before your hunt, just after. " All blinds must have hunter’s name, date of installation, address and phone number written legibly and placed at the entry point of the blind in an obvious location. Blinds must be removed at the end of each hunters 2 week permit."
there is a stand out there going on +2 years now, vines have it nearly completely entangled...its in a very popular and obvious spot.

Originally posted by PIOBill View PostWent out today to hang a couple of cameras and there were a couple of dove hunters out but not many birds flying. Not seeing as much sign in the area we hunted last year. The pressure put on these deer with l the new Covid hikers around has impacted the movement

We specially asked this question and was told it was only legal to have up during your period. We even had the ranger on camera going through one of the scouting spots. We asked what would happen if blind was up early, and he said they will ticket you. Seems you can risk having confiscated but placing your name on it just give them data to ticket you with.
