Let us know if they assign pastures like they did last year. I think they may be headed in that direction going forward.

The biggest benefit to camping there is your proximity. You just saved yourself mega time. Time driving is the most, but what comes with alternate locations is getting out of where you are and then rolling on the highway. You simply lock and unlock the trailer campground. It's mere minutes away from the Chap gate. Anything else, it's time spent doing that, I prefer the conveniences , proximity, and ability to enter/exit if/when needed. As would a group.
Generator with some boards to funnel sound away if applicable.
The tarp works very well for creating a shelter outside for gear, cooking, mingling, sitting down to eat, etc.
Time passes very fast on that hunt, it is short. Having things ready, make for a more enjoyable and less hectic camp. Best of luck, will be looking forward to some LDPs from your group.
If you have neighbors, go meet them!

I got drawn to bow hunt the Chaparral 12/7 - 12/10. Man, I'm fired up! Who's going when I go? Sent me your cell number on a PM and I'll look you up at the campground if you will camping out. Wondering what phase the rut should? I'm guessing pre-rut. I know that the moon phases will be favorable.

Last year was hot and in the evenings most deer didn’t move until 10 minutes before legal shooting light ended. I would have 2 or 3 show up about 30 minutes early and then when all you can make out were blobs, I would have 10+ deer in my corn.
Don’t start packing up early because you haven’t seen anything.
Good luck to all who were drawn.Last edited by Sideler; 08-24-2021, 12:46 PM.

The camping area has a shower area and power there only.
There is power at the shower area but it is not available to the campsites at least that is how it has been in past. They ask you not to plug into the power. You can’t use generators at the tent camping area either. Only at the RV site which is maybe 1/2 mile from tent site.

This will be my first trip to the Chap.
