Just checked Park Hunts.
Early for Versailles, Orange Zone.
Late for Brown County, Unit 2.
Unless I end up unemployed before November I think Big Oaks is out for gun.

OK…Here is the word from the DNR. If anyone put in for Newport, for gun OR archery , and did not reapply, their application for a ANY military/refuge hunt (gun OR archery) was thrown out. They could not go in and pick out just the Newport applications. Bummer, but that is the way that their system is/was set up. NOW – the clinker. Newport now says that they can have deer hunts. BUT – there will be a new round of applications starting about September 10th and going through to the 24th for Newport. The DNR rep could not tell me if it was both archery and firearm or not.. Weird.. I'll bet DNR Kevin is going to get a bunch of calls today.. Guess I got screwed also... How could someone "REAPPLY" once you apply for all the hunts. The system will not offer you any more hunts to apply for.....Hmmmmmm....Life in the FAST lane I guess. 4.

But they had to be drawn didnt they? No, they do not have to be drawn. They can be anyone who you pick. When you call and tell that what spot you want, you can tell them then who your partner will be.

You don't need to tell them who your buddy is, but both of you have to take the safety course to hunt in Big Oaks.
jbdinos- I got drawn for the same hunts that you did. Early versailles orange and big oaks 11/20. Unsuccessful for Charleston late. Man I am going to quit putting in for that place either there are a huge amount of applications or a small number accepted. Three years and not a smell. Have you hunted Versailles orange before?

I am hunting Versailles blue. I have never hunted there, but I used to live in Versailles and went hiking there alot. The blue zone is the bigger part of the park. I had a buddy a few years ago shot 2 doe and a buck within an hour. There is alot of deer there.

For anyone who gets drawn for Big Oaks. When you call to reserve your spot, try and get as far north as you can. These are the areas who have the most kills every year. They are also harder to get for that reason.

I'm still getting "No records found". I applied for McCormick's Creek early and late hunts - I guess I'll contact DNR on Tuesday to find out what's up...

I got Big Oaks on 10/23 and 10/24, Crane on 12/5, and the late hunt at Versailles: Blue Zone. Sheetz send me a PM. I killed a 10 point last year in the orange zone on the first hunt that is gonna push the mid 150's. I know some spots worth trying. Looks like I'm gonna be needing a partner for crane. I was wondering is it worth going to crane? Its about the only place on the draw hunts I haven't got to go to. If any one has any tips at all for it I'd appreciate them. Thanks
