Anyone heading down there Monday morning? Just checking if anyone wants to buddy boat going across the bay. Should be st the fishing center about 8am.

Been wanting to do this for years! Congrats and goodluck!

Been trying for 7years. Finally got picked 😁

Nice keep this updated would love to hear about the trip

I have put in several years for that one too. Let us know how it goes!

Looking forward to the report!

Finally got some free time, so I'll give y'all a run down on my hunt. First of all...the SKEETERS WERE CRAZY!!!! Fighting them for three days is no fun. I was told this was the worst year ever for them. You gotta have a lot of respect for the Indians.
First I arrived at the docks at about 10:30. Lots of boats. Something like 15 standby hunters. Drew numbers for blinds at noon after the safety brief. Headed out at 1:30. Blinds ran from black plastic blinds to alum stands with four walls. Guess which one I ended up with?lol sat in a plastic lawn chair in a blind with no roof and covered in bird poop. I guess it's better than the guy that found a 4' rattle snake under his blind.
When someone says the grass is tall there they are not kidding. You have to walk from the road to the blind down a mowed path. The rest of the area is covered in 4' tall grass. Seeing deer is a challenge. I got lucky and a doe stopped on the path to eat. Shot her at 3:00 so I had to wait till 7 to get picked up. Saw quite a few deer there. Nothing I wanted to shoot thou. Luckily she dropped right next to the road. Didn't have to drag her very far. Saw a lot of nice deer brought in that evening. All the way up to an 11 pointer that was over 120". I never saw anything that big.
They have a nice cleaning rack w/water. Bring your cooler with ice and your good.
Next morning went to the same stand and saw NOTHING. Only a couple of deer brought in. Went out that evening and got a small buck at a different stand.
Overall I thought it was well run operation. I had a great time. Things I would do different , bring a small pit to cook on. Bring a tarp to stand on at camp. The sand burrs are tuff! Also the fishing was pretty good. There you go that was my experience .im sure I left some stuff out. If you have any questions just hit me with them. I'll do what I can to answer. The main thing is, would I do it again?YOU BET!

Congrats on the hunt. Applied a few times but never drew. Too far for me to go standby.

Nice! Congrats that sounds like a good time!

cool story! Congrats on your success
