I came back from my hunt today.
Overall, it is a great hunt and less efforts. You only hunt in an assigned blind. They will send you in and pick you up. The hunting time is 6-11am and 2pm-dark.
The park ranger and his folks are very friendly and helpful.
The park has plenty cabin with AC available during this time. It is much appreciated esp. in these bitter cold days. I was told there was a restaurant within 3 miles, but I did not try it.
You will hunt in a 4x4 wood ground blind. The blinds are set at selected spots. They want us to shoot as many deer as possible, so the spots supposedly are carefully picked. If the weather is cooperate, you should be able to see deer. The max shoot range is 120 yards, the average is 60. Be sure to bring 1 or 2 bags of qualified corn. If you forget, not a big deal. The park has some for sale. When you go to your blind, be sure to spread corn at anywhere the deer may show up or travel. In my opinion, the corn does not attract deer to come, but stop them on their way. So, give you time to pull the trigger.
There are plenty deer out there. If you were luck as me, your hunt can be completed in the first afternoon. I shot 2 does within 5 minutes in the first afternoon, then, my game is over.

Back from hunt on Inks lake, unfortunatley, the wind was howling the whole time I was there. I did not see any deer outside of the park. In our group of ten hunters, one deer was taken.
For those of you who may be drawn in the future, I would recommend taking a stadium seat that hooks under the front. The blind has two 2x6 boards to form a bench like the old stadium seating with no back rest. The stadium chair would be ideal.
