Clifty Park Draw Hunters

[Sasquatch]

I will be working at the park throughout the first hunt for sure, and probably the second hunt. Not sure what I'll be doing. I lobbied to come in at five and work the South Gate where as I understand we'll be verifying credentials, but I'm scheduled to come in at ten. That way I can work until the official hunt time is over.

I met a few scouting hunters today. Hopefully the weather will be good for them.

At any rate, good luck to anybody coming! I'll be the only fifty-ish, bearded, buzz-cutted ugly dude wearing a class-A uniform. ( badge, name tag, button up Khaki shirt ) I think I'm the only guy that wears glasses too

If anyone sees me, say hi! ( or kiss my foot, whatever )

Are they allowing no-show hunters in this year? I used to hunt that place consistently for about 15-16 years until they revamped the drawing system and screwed it up.

How are the deer numbers there?

No-shows were not allowed. Ditto on the Draw system for me! ( Though I'm disqualified now anyway )

I would have said, "not that high" but then considering that we had 70 hunters and took 21 deer on day one, that's not a bad take.

I see them driving around but not daily.

Are you disqualified because you work there?

Yep, that's what they tell me. Never saw it in print, but it seems to be the consensus. lol
