My son drew a youth hunt a couple of years ago out there. Nice park and we had a good time. Staff was really awesome and welcoming. It was assigned blinds and you can provide your own bait to put out. Bring a chair and whatever else you normally take to a blind, the staff took us to and from the blind. A fair amount of deer were harvested and my son saw a few but could not seal the deal. An adult could definitely could have shot a few does with better patience. The deer were on the small side body wise compared to what im normally used to in east texas. We never saw any bucks so i cant comment on that. Overall we had a great time and camped in the park tent spots through a small snow storm.

What kind of blinds do they use?

We were in pop up ground blinds. I think they have a few box blinds as well, we just never sat in one. Again, this was for youth, but I’m just assuming it’s the same for adults.

I went on the hunt this week. There was 8 of us. There was only one doe harvested. That was the only deer seen. I did see 5 standing beside the road about a mile outside the park. I got a small hog. Made a bunch of sausage with it. It was not a very good hunt.

Sorry it wasn’t a good hunt. Harvest Statistics last year were pretty good actually.
I need to go visit that park and mark it off the TPWD park bucket list. Neat park with fun things to do?

The last hunt in early December 8 hunters took 9 deer. It's pretty in the park. It has camping and two boat ramps and a swimming area. Several hiking trails.
