Service is really spotty all over the park. Wouldn’t count on having service out there.
The park people are great and really work hard on this hunt. It’s a jam up group. They said there are 3 big groups of Aoudad running around, plenty of deer, pigs, small group of axis, and even a couple Mouflon. The limit was five deer plus the exotics. 4 doe and a buck or 3 doe and two bucks with one being a spike. Everyone saw deer. Plenty of people shot. They have been putting corn out since September. Bring corn to put out while your there. They take you to the blinds but you need a chair. It’s a tough ride out. Climbing rocks, going three tight spots, etc. but not to bad. But man it’s a pretty place. With tons of deer.
My story wasn’t so fortunate. First day, within the first 10 minutes of settling in the blind, I tried to see if I had room to draw my compound and got halfway back, hit the release by accident and dry fired. ****. Everything looked fine though. About an hour before sunset a doe wakes out broadside at 20 yards. Drew back and figured out my string had twisted and my peep sight was sideways. Skipped the next morning hunt and drove to stonewall to the closest bow shop and got my string fixed.
Hunted that evening and a doe walked out at about 30 yards. She spotted me about halfway through my draw back. I had hurt my shoulder two weeks ago in the gym and it just started feeling better. She looked back down and I drew the rest of the way back and right when I did I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder. Let the arrow fly and heard it hit. Arrow passed through and had good blood but couldn’t find her. So I only got two hunts in and now I need time to let me shoulder heal up. Thinking real hard about trying in the morning anyway. We’ll see how it feels in the morning.
But it’s a great hunt with good opportunity. I would love to draw it again. Especially the archery hunt. I’m not sure how all of the blinds are but mine the furthest shot you could take is 60 yards. No need for a rifle. Can’t say enough good things about the guys and girl operating the hunt.

Rodger that. I'll be bringing one in case it rains. And my rain gear.
Last time I got drawn, I broke my chair. Went to Gibson's in Kerrville and bought another/different kind. It broke on the first sit too. That was for a different hunt in the area.
I've lost some weight since. And have a chair set up for this hunt that's rated for 400lbs, even though I'm half that now.Last edited by Texas Grown; 10-23-2021, 07:42 AM.

Legs are height adjustable and removable, arm is rachet adjustable, and chair swivels. I hunt a lot of public in a lot of places. This chair will get used in other places too. I used just the chair last year when duck hunting. Super comfy.
The fish are biting, and there's hogs to be kill-t. Gotta go!

Do they want you to Field Dress in the field or bring them in whole. Was not sure if they had a facility that you could process your own deer inside the park. Your report has me pumped up now! Thanks for the update! Will be there Nov 9 thru Nov 12 with Rifle in hand!
