We did not get in. 164-167, 168-171 was called. Funny thing there was a lady just ahead of me, but she was waiting on a text of a phone number so she told me to go ahead of her. Dang if she would have went 1st our group would be in. For the guys that are in my group the guy that drew the number said there are always no shows and those that don't qualify so he said to be there August 22nd and you will get a red ticket. After they determine how many spots opened up they will draw to fill those spots. Then if drawn you have 2 weeks to get your stuff in, any that don't will be out and a third drawing will be held. Good Luck to those that got drawn.
Can anyone explain the proficiency test to me? I've hunted granger but never gtown.
In order to hunt out there you have to pass a proficiency test. Your shooting at 3d targets, I forget the score that you need. Double G archery offers the test.
1st time hearing about this hunt and got drawn. Pretty excited as my buddy lives 8 min from the park and I am no more than 20.
Read all 56 pages, but I still have a few questions .... I could wait until orientation, but it these will affect the scouting.
1) Do you have to check in / out for every hunt? I ask as I have seen some indication back 30ish pages of possible night hog hunting from your own coordinates, and unsure how this would work... (unless night just means 'from 6am till 30 before dawn' and then '30 after dusk till gates close').
2) Can you enter / exit from places other than the parking lots of the parks? (ie can you park on the side of one of the adjacent county roads and enter from there or thru private property with permission)
3) Are the parks open for camping during the season? Is it still possible to get a spot? I tried to get a Ped. Falls spot last year and realized that hunting weeks are sold out online on the morning that they are posted on the webpage.

4) Do you need to pay park fees with every hunt?
No check needed.
There are certain places along DW Wood you cannot park. Most other places you can park.
No sure on camping issue.
You do not need to pay park fees, at least where I hunted. Not sure of other parts of park.
Like the gentleman above, this is my first time to be drawn for this hunt. Pretty excited as I live off of DB Wood road. This is also my first time to do any public hunting so I have a few questions for the guys that have done this before.
1. Picking a location for a stand? Since I live off DB Wood it would be great to at least be on that side of the lake. I know there are some that have been selected in the past and would prefer to keep the same spots they used in the past. Is there some sort of unofficial meeting when everyone gets together and picks sections or is it just a mad dash for your favorite spot, first come serve. I'm sure there is plenty of room for everyone just did not know if everyone wanted the same spot.
2. Recommendations for stands and feeders? Ground Blinds/Tree stands? Obviously you don't want anything to large as you have to carry to and from your spot. Just curious as what has or has not worked well for others.
