Inks Lake hunting report - 12/14/15 03:43 PM
Got back from the either sex hunt held last week at Inks Lake State Park. I forgot whom was going down later so I figured I'd just post up here.
I remember it was said before to go a day early and scout and see stands and all. Well, forget that! There are stands positioned/located at places that will never be found hiking around.
I'm not 100% sure but from talking with the other hunters there it sounds like every stand has a feeder. They go off at 7 and 4 and run about 4 to 5 seconds. It was warm during our hunt but everyone saw deer and everybody went home with deer. I only saw bucks at my stand and others only saw does. The guy that manages the hunt does what he can do to put you in place to see deer. They take you out about 530 to 6 and come and pick you back up around 10. Afternoons you go out at 2 and they come to get you at dark. If you put something down and are ready to come back all you have to do is text them or call and they are on the way.
Stands- some stands have chairs and others just have a bench and no back. So a stadium seat comes in handy if you get a stand without a chair.
I don't think everyone filled there allotted tags this year but with the weather and the green pickings it was tough.
To sum it all up: beautiful place, great people, and healthy deer waiting to go in the cooler
