Not too many mature hardwoods in that area of the park judging from the pics. You'd think a State Park would have some good hardwoods. Did they log that recently?

If you want to see timber, just drive thru the park and you will not be dissapointed. A very diverse habitat can be seen from horseback in the horseman's camp area. |

I have property to hunt not far from the park and it's not surprising to me that not to many deer were taken. I usually see at least a few deer and not just me but a couple other guys I hunt with saw nothing over the weekend. I don't know what the deal is but the deer were not moving.

An aquaintence of mine killed a nice one in there during one of the hunts, he actually got surrounded by hunters on all sides, climbed down, hiked back as far as he could go and killed a monster from the ground.

I friend of mine from Linton killed a decent 10 point and his partner killed a doe and an 8 pointer today....only got pics of 10 pointer I'm guessing 130" deer. He said he liked the hunt.

Same results for me at Turkey Run. Although I did have a shot at a doe and all I got was a maple pole!!!
Very few shots all morning, when I checked out there were 2 known (1 checked and one in the process of retrieval). They killed 51 the Nov hunts. I will be back in the AM and hike back again. I'm not sure if I really want to kill one that bad but it sure is fun hiking up and down those hill out there.

HH, should have come over to say hello, that was my buck you got a pic of! I'm the one standing in the bed with the beard, I'll post some more pics before I butcher it, but it was the only deer I saw today. Shot him at 9:15 in the driving snow at 15 yds. with my muzzleloader while hunting off the ground. He was missing a brow tine making him a 7 pt. My buddy saw 7 but had no shots. Very beautiful day in the park for sure with all the snow.

A little off topic, but an amusing anecdote concerning the Brown county park hunt. During the November hunt a co-worker was dropped off at his area and they didn't come back to pick him up. He and his hunting buddy had a long walk back! For some reason they had both been signed out of the property. Needless to say, he wasn't too happy with the hunt.

My brother and I both hunted Brown County today and when we stopped to split up I looked on the ground and found a half eaton shed from last year. If the other side matched that side it easily would have went 160". So we were pumped up and was ready to get settled into a tree. Well I set up and not even in 10 minutes i had hunters all over me.(3 to be exact) So I called him and we slipped out and took one of the trucks that will take you to where ever you want on the trails. We walked this ridge for nearly a mile then split up. He saw 1 doe and couldn't get a shot. We decided to not wait for the truck and just took our time and walked back. We thought for sure we would see some deer from the trail because we could walk so queitly and the snow helped you to see a long distance. I really think the wind had the deer bedded up. Even though i didn't see any deer I still will be back at it again tomorrow and will just hope for the best.

It was funny that truck showed up with a bed full of people and that deer was in there too. Were you up on high ground or did you go way down into the bottoms of the ravines? Oh, I was in unit 7. |

Unit 8, down low, wasn't much fun getting him out, we had almost a 1 mile drag just to the pickup point!
