I don't know if it's been mentioned but the brush out there is THICK, very thick in most places. Wiped a couple ticks off us just walking to the blind. Not much visibility and a lot of territory. Also their blinds do not have chairs so bring your own, they will assign you a bucket chair if needed. They were passing out "hunter orange" packets for those that needed them. Orientation started at 10am and truck caravans didn't form until about 12:15 to escort to the hunting areas so don'tplan on going to orientation and leaving for lunch as it'll be a while longer. There were about 45 trucks in the caravan, impressive to see. They have a walk-in cooler and skinning rack but no water hose to spray just a stainless sink.

To add, the tower blinds are open air. No roofs. The floors are expanded metal, no carpet. Which can be loud.
You can borrow a bucket chair at HQ if they don't run out but the kids and I brought folding hunting stools (think what you use for dove hunting). If there was nothing on the blind sendero we'd bail out to check another sendero that we had corned. The folding dove stools make decent rifle rests, are lightweight and extremely mobile.

Originally posted by justletmein View PostNo there wasn't any fog. The unit we were in was incredibly thick brush and no sendero's seemed to be cut straight. They had one blind in there, zero visibility one way, about 60 yards the other way with a 100 yard random freshly shredded path behind it. I'd definitely recommend bringing portable tripod of some sort to setup better. You're not allowed to hunt from roads which are the only straight lines out there it seems.
You aren’t allowed to hunt roads? That’s crazy and they allowed the corn?
