Got picked for Potato Creek first hunt.
Per the new park hunt rules sheet... I can take 2 buddies that qualify. Assuming that means other guys that signed up but were unsuccessful on their draws too? It does NOT say they can be on only one application like it does on the website.

Wow, 2 no's for me also.. Dont feel bad. Me and dad both drew 2 blanks. Only 2nd time in almost 20 years we didn't draw at least 1. Fortunately our buddy drew the late hunt at Versailles, so we'll tag along with him.

Have you taken the hunter safety course? This will help in getting drawn.

I put them in back in January, cancelling them is easy. How did you know park hunts were the week before the gun season even starts? Don't tell the guys you work with, but here is the secret to knowing when they park hunts will be. The LATE hunt is always the Monday and Tuesday after Thanksgiving. The EARLY hunt is two weeks prior to the late hunt. This works no matter when gun season starts.

Fortunately our buddy drew the late hunt at Versailles, so we'll tag along with him. I'm in the same boat with you guys this year. Wow! Honestly, I hope things work out for the Parks with doing the draw this way. This is the first time since I started putting in for the Parks that I have not gotten drawn. I am seeing several very productive people not getting drawn with this new system. I was wondering if the sheer number of people applying would throw things off. I also wonder how many groups of hunters got everybody drawn but only take their normal group. This is going to be an interesting year to see the harvest and participation results.

Versailles late hunt only. One change I notice is they don't assign an area like the have done the last few years. No more orange or blue zone....

Guess we will see once the results come out.

This is going to be an interesting year to see the harvest and participation results. I have thought the same thing for years. Do they draw more succeesful hunters repeatedly? There has only been a couple years I/we havent been drawn in the same 20yrs. We are very successful because we put in our time and scout, and harvest any deer seen, buck, doe, large or small.

I didn't get drawn for either this year as well. My buddy did for late Versailles. Like some others it is the first time since I started putting in to not get drawn for a state park.

With no place to hunt this year, I was really banking on the State Park hunts, as I've not ever not got drawn at Harmonie Park. I don't think success rate or HE had anything to do with it since I've always done well their and have a fist full of safety courses completed.
For those that got drawn, shoot straight and please be careful!

Buddy got drawn for early Whitewater park hunt so will be tagging along. Hunted it several times and don't think I've ever been skunked for the early hunt. Good luck to everyone who got drawn
