I was drawn for Garner exotic on 01/05-07/2022. Just wondering if any other TBH's were drawn or were going. I've heard their are very few exotics there anymore so I probably wasted my ppoints. Anyone know anything about Garner and where the best places to hunt are. Any info would be appreciated. Thx

We hunted there three years ago with no luck. You will draw for or be assigned stands if it’s like it was then.I think three were killed the whole time we were there. They were killed throughout the park so I don’t know if there is a “good” place to hunt. We did see a herd of around 20 one night while picking up hunters on the south end of the park. Biggest thing I saw out of the stand was a turkey so it made for long sits. That being said, be on your toes because everyone that shot one said they don’t hang around long.
Before our hunt we heard horror stories about the game warden that runs the hunt but we didn’t experience that. He seemed genuinely concerned about helping hunters get Axis. He even allowed me to swap stands because the spot I drew had a lion sighting recently.
The Axis are there they just go nocturnal when the hunt starts.

We stayed at Garner SP a week ago. Was looking forward to seeing all the exotics I used to hear about. We drove around everywhere that was open to driving both during the day and night and only saw 2 jack rabbits. Very disappointed. Now if you go into Utophia, you will see deer all over the town.
Good luck on the hunt.

Seems to be a bunch of bad reports on this hunt the last several years on here, I could be wrong but I seemed to remember this place used to be one of the desired draw hunts back in the day. I put in for it for archery exotic every year because we have darn near 20 preference points for that category and its the only hunt listed in that category for years now. I really wish they would bring back Devils river archery exotic.
