I was there for standby drawing last year. I'd say 150 people were there.

I just don't get it. They allotted 50 permits last year and gave 40 on standby? So 10 people who got drawn accepted their permits? Or did they add 40 to that?
I can't hunt the first weekend it opens but I'll sure as hell be there to check in and secure my spot. That's 4-5 hours on the road just for a shot at some venison and pork.
It's a small wonder why they don't open more public lands - with these kind of demand numbers it almost doesn't merit the additional resources to operate more public land.

Some very brave guys out there.
My guess is that the game wardens do not enforce the 72 hour rule?

Is there a 72 hour rule on the books for Granger?, I know I've heard other guys refer to it on other public areas but it not a universal rule, every place has their own rules.Last edited by bossbowman; 09-22-2018, 07:30 PM.

Granger is held to APH rules:
Hunting Blinds, Gear and Equipment
--constructs or places a hunting blind, stand, tower, or platform within 50 yards of any designated road, marked unit boundary, or designated campsite;
--constructs a permanent blind, stand, tower, or platform
--leaves a hunting blind, stand, tower, or platform in place for more than 72 hours or uses metal nails, spikes, screws, or bolts to attach such structures to the timber;
--leaves personal gear, equipment (including decoys), or floating conveyances unattended for more than one hour following the close of legal shooting hours.
--Note: this does not apply to gear or equipment left within a designated camping area or for specific activities scheduled by the department.

It may be in the book not sure but Derrick has always said put your stands where you want and leave them out if you want just respect the private landowners. Also that be prepared that they might get stolen if left out. People have brought it up and he has said technically that is the rule in the book if you want you can take it down and put it right back up if you want but nobody is enforcing it so just be respectful and don't cause problems. All that's ever been said when I have been there.
You bring this up ever year....Last edited by bloodtrailer28; 09-22-2018, 08:20 PM.
