Just picked up standby at Bastrop State Park.
Awaiting compartment assignment...

How many standby spots did they have? I've never been picked for one. I've tried it 3 times.

[TN_boy]

7 spots available.
We drew 38B.

Hunt is split up to Wednesday evening, Thursday AM till 11, Thursday 3pm-dark, and Friday AM till 11.
Interesting setup. This is a does/spike hunt with 3 per person + unlimited exotics. 2 of us on 136 acres.

Will keep yall informed!

Nice. Always wanted to try that one

Did they say how the youth hunt went last weekend?

Also, how many showed up for the standby? I almost took my daughter on the Youth hunt for standby but it didn't work out.

What was the reasoning for splitting up the times? That's really odd.

People have to drive through others sections. Said all day option didn't work out because most people hunt on the roads.

I always see it listed having exotics, never really believed there was actually a chance of seeing one.

I always see it listed having exotics, never really believed there was actually a chance of dinnertime seeing one.

There have been many red deer killed on the park and neighboring places.

Wish I was paying attention and showed up for this one. Im in need of meat! Good luck OP. Killed my biggest buck on a place that borders the state park.
