Muzzy I think my daughter hunted the same one you did stand 17 I hunted stand 19. This hunt was the least successful because the deer had been shot at for 2 weeks.
Talked to the ranger as to why there is no bow hunts and he is considering it for the future. There is an estimated 800-1000 axis on the park. We saw at least a hundred every day right at the main gate. He said in the past he had a bow hunt and no one could pass the accuracy test. Not sure who took the test because it seemed really easy. He put a 5 x 3 postcard at 20 yards. You only had to hit it one out of 5 arrows and no one passed. I did not get all the details, but he is at least considering some future bow hunts.
All in all we really enjoyed it. The other hunts I have been on were a little more "relaxed" but this was still nice. I have won 30+ drawn hunts over the past few years so this was not my first TPWD draw hunt experience.
Did you see a lot at Blind 19?

Blind 19 and pics
My daughter and I saw very little. She hunted 19 and I hunted 17. We each only saw one axis and it was for a very brief time. Both we saw just trotted across the lane.
It was tough, with many people not seeing a single axis. (other then the hundreds you drive through at the gate - ha)
I tried to upload the pic, but obviously I am green screen pic illiterate.

Not selected. Went back to Concan area to work on camp house. I did take a pig at my lease.
