do they allow deer hunting out there? I was talking to some guys from Abliene last weekend and they said it was a draw hunt. I cannot find anything on the TPWD website.

The Parks & Wildlife puts out a book with all the year's drawing info every year. It usually comes out in July. You can get one at the local office or at any of the state parks. They also have all the info on their website, and you can even download the PDF of the booklet that they print.

If you enter a drawing and have your name as the contact name on the top of the entry card, then they will automatically mail you the book when it comes out every year. That is nice. My dad and brother-in-law and I always enter the drawings together, and we make sure that everybody has their name on the top of at least one card every year.
As for the hunting safety, I wouldn't worry too much. The small places like Abilene State Park are hunted by assigned blind, meaning that you MUST sit in the blind that they assign you to hunt. You also have to wear orange on gun hunts. On the really large places, like the Matador, you hunt by compartment. That means you have a big pasture to yourself and/or your partner or group that you applied with.
