Did anyone else get drawn for the 5th at big oaks? I haven't heard of anyone, but you do need a partner to hunt there. Anyone here will go with you. I'm going on the 11th for firearm. As of right now I have a friend going but he's a tentative.

Got an email about a half hour ago that the reserved hunt results were posted and State Park draws will be posted after Labor Day. Says an email will be sent when all park hunt results are posted.
That may be why some could see theirs and others couldn't, they all were not posted yet.

I got the same email and then just received another that said there is another deer hunt to apply for, but I sure don't see it in the website.
Here's what it says:
Applications for waterfowl hunts, put-n-take pheasant hunts, and one additional deer hunt are now available online. You can apply until Sept. 24 for the waterfowl hunts at DNR properties.

That may be why some could see theirs and others couldn't, they all were not posted yet. The reason I couldn't find my results was because somehow the DNR had created 2 customer profiles for me. Once they were merged I was able to see my results. Took them about an hour but they got it done. Shout out to Craig at the DNR customer service center for getting that squared away.

For those of you who live far away; what do you do for big oaks? Do you drive the morning of or do you stay in a hotel etc?
I was thinking about getting a campsite at clifty falls but wasn't sure.

I drive in early that morning (about 1.5 hrs from home). If it's a 2 day hunt I sleep in my truck at Walmart.

I was thinking about driving, but it's about 2 hours from home, and sleeping in my truck also crossed my mind, however I don't want to sleep in a car with my hunting partner lol.

I live about 90 minutes away and have stayed in the Best Way in Madison and also driven back. Like someone else said, more likely to stay down there for multiple day hunts. Often weather plays a factor in the decision and the timing of the rut.

Walmart is a nice place to sleep. Last time, me and Trey slept in the parking lot of the restaurant we ate at.

They are taking their sweet time releasing the reduction hunt results. lol Things were done differently this year, plus they have always taken longer to get posted.
