I haven't hunted it in 15 or so years because I never have a partner. It APPEARS that the partner requirement has changed? I'm going to call to make sure, but does anyone know?

I do not know for sure but I would be surprised if they dropped that requirement. That was in the original agreement with the military when the NWR took it over. Be curious to see what you find out.

Atterbury did away with their partner requirement.

I dont see that happening. Joe is a big stickler on that rule.
What do you guys think the odds are of them actually having hunts this year?

Big Oaks said (per call) ..... everything is same as past you need a partner and you don’t choose your date to hunt they decide that!
Right now they aren’t even letting folks fish there.

Well, when you apply you must choose a date, and you only get one choice for firearms.. Definitely different than before. Also, you must say you have 0 or 1 partner.. I don't know what they intend to do with the applicants that say zero partners. I'd say either the Big Oaks person is out of the loop, or DNR has made a goof on their application system.

You will get drawn and they decide the date you hunt like in the past .... the DNR has the Big Oak draw set up wrong per the guy that answer the phone... sounded like the manger Rob Yes it not set up like before but it’s supposed to be....that why Rob said they are doing things like in the past ... you must have a partner and you will be assigned a date if the hunts happen.

Big Oaks hunts are IMO a joke...supposed to be about harvesting deer, yet it is mainly viewed at by many as a big buck hunt....

Really...I thought for sure it was or is or was at one time listed as reduction being the purpose of it. I FULLY admit I could be entirely wrong now though.

I FULLY admit I could be entirely wrong now though. They went through a reduction many years back.. They are up front now when you go, shoot what you want. Even have a "Big Buck" poster board.

Can you imagine if they shut it down this year and what it would be like next year with a year off.

DNR made a mistake, partners are still required.
