Thanks a bunch everybody for posting updates, I'm really starting to look forward to my hunt. I have a question for you guys. I also sent the same question to the refuge, I have seen guys wearing orange and also not wearing orange. Is it a personal decision?
I was reading the special regulations sent out from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, it appears to be a general rule sheet for all hunts since it includes reference to rifle, shotgun, and muzzleloader hunts. The rule sheet states that
"all participants are required to wear hunter orange according to Texas State Regulations"
The Texas State law states "All persons on public hunting lands (state, national forests, and grasslands) during daylight hours when hunting with firearms is permitted must wear at least 400 square inches of hunter orange material with orange headgear, and at least 144 square inches appearing on both chest and back"
Since my hunt is an archery hunt, and not a firearms hunt does that mean that I am not required to wear orange?

Everyone I saw was wearing orange

The regs also say this. Are there going to be any firearms hunts going on during 1/11-14?
"Notice: to archery hunters and recreational users: You must wear hunter orange during daylight hours at any time when firearm hunting for any species is authorized on the unit. Many units allow firearm hunting year-round for rabbits, and firearm hunts for squirrel and dove often are conducted concurrently with archery deer hunts."

You can park off the roads as long as you do not disturb the flow of traffic.
You should see tons of game, it was my first time there also and I saw upwards of 20 Deer and like 7 or 8 nilgai while I was there.

Thanks Jmsck12. Looks like rain on Friday, so I plan on using an old ground blind. Everyplace else I have hunted, I have used a tripod...so this might be interesting. I don't have experience in a ground blind, but would think the animals would spot it easily and be too scared by it. Will try it, though. How are the roads if it rains?

Roads are not bad when it rains, unless you have a car you’ll be fine. I sat on a folding chair in the rain and wind tucked into the brush and saw lots of animals.
