Never mind, I found it. I was successful for the early gun hunt at Brown County. Same here.

Did not get early hunt at Charlestown but did get Whitewater 2nd hunt. Got an area there that Ive done well in times past.That along with a muzzleloader hunt at Muscatatuck makes for more venison for the freezer.

Unsuccessful for the early hunt at Tippecanoe and successful for the late hint at Charlestown. Any suggestions for C-town? Hunted it 5-6 years ago and struck out.

Ok guys, I'm new to these draw hunts. This is the first year I have put in for them and am feeling VERY successful. However, I know NOTHING about these hunts. Any advice for a newbie to draw hunts? Specifically, are these all worth going to? Anyone been to the deer creek FWA?
Nov. 23 Crane
Nov 28-30 Deer Creek FWA
Dec 1-2 Brown County

Very few strategies work because for every plan you come up with, 5 or 6 other guys will have come up with too. The best advice is to find a spot as far from others as you can and sit tight all day. There is a chance someone will kick deer up and run them by you. You could see anything. You could see nothing. I've done about 5 state park hunts and have been completely skunked for deer sightings more often than not. It's still worth a shot though. You never know.

Unsuccessful for both early and late hunts. Really disappointed. I can only hope they do some hunt day draws for unfilled spots, highly unlikely.

I have it from a "reliable source" that the DNR has been trolling the hunting boards for people's comments relating to the reduction hunt drawings. The source went on to state that ukwill and deadeer will not be successful in any drawings this year hahaha...[/font][/b] Nanny nanny boo boo. They must have thought better since they voted me in for 2 hunts at Potato Creek. Jay

I got picked for Deer Creek FWA and the first Ft Harrison hunt. I'm probably not going to be able to take off enough days from work to hunt all days at both, but I'll see what I can work out. Super-excited that I got picked for the Rookery at Harrison. I scouted there last year but didn't hunt it, and I really liked what I saw...

Yep to all of this; I'm running 1 for 3 on them. First time I was drawn I scouted and had a spot picked out. When I got there the ranger said 5 guys were already on the ridge watching the same bottom (now it was a long one but still). Should be interesting this year as there are no assigned areas at Brown Co. this time.

Hopefully if someone hears about a park, they'll post it up on here. I'm sure I'm not alone on wishing to join a day of hunt draw, I just need to be sure it's "on" before taking off work and traveling a couple of hours. I did get a hunt at Deer Creek FWA, so I'm not out of the game. Good luck to all of you that made it through the process!
