I will be there this Saturday along with 44 other folks..... We were lucky enough to tag a doe last year & now get to go back for a buck hunt... This is the only hunt of the year... For whatever reason, the place has been off limits for hunting except for this one day.....

Anyone heard anything from this place? Anybody seeing many monsters along the fence? I have hunted this place 5 times & every single time I have had extremely close encounters with awesome bucks...... The problem is that I have never carried a buck tag...

Saturday I will have a buck tag!

(Probably see does all day....lol)

I have heard great things about big monsters in there. Always wanted to apply for the hunt, just never did. Maybe next year

I live close by but no longer see big bucks along the fence like we used to. I heard they had put in another fence further back and the deer can no longer get to the fence along the highway. Not sure if this is true, but the deer sightings along the fence have really gone down.

My brother works in there, he says there is another fence back at the river and most of the deer are on the back side of it, he says the deer population is really down in there but there are still some really good deer in there.

Blue Berry Muffins............the deer there love the scent! I'm not saying throw them on the ground (for obvious reasons) But, if you like them, take some to eat, it seems the deer up there love the scent!

They only have hunts there to control the population. Now they have a large yote population and several bears. Predation rate on fawns is high. No longer a need to have hunters thin the herd.

I have a cousin and a friend that will both be on this hunt. Name me jealous. My daughter and I saw some great ones there on a juvenile hunt.

Hope everyone does good.
