Used to do it. Got tired of idiots walking around all day. AND you have to shoot a doe first which ok but waiting through multiple bucks was nerve racking.

Far from cleaned out. You can hunt some of the biggest mature whitetail in this state in high point. They are unpressured and respond to scents calling etc like deer actually should. This time of year you can hunt stokes right across the street and have the same opportunity when the big boys leave there sanctuary of the park in search of love. Rubs in there twice the size of Chris christies thighs and scrapes bigger then his dinner plate. The past probably 10years attendance for the hunt has been down over 60% most of the hunters are locals with the exception of some south jerz guys that are not comfortable in bear country. Last year there was 2 guys who wouldn't walk in until well past daylight and sat about 80 yards from the truck. After chatting with them a bit I found out they were terrified of bears. The next day I brought them a map with deer detailed instructions on where to go and he mustered up the courage to head in about 1/4 mile and shot a heavy horned 9 point. He gutted it while his buddy covered him with the 50 cal. Hahaha

I saw that happen once on a muzzy hunt too. We were standing around the deer talking and it gets up and staggers away. Luckily the other guy reloaded after the shot and was ready to finish it off.

I will hunt Veterans Day. Yes the bucks are all over the place. Biggest deer I ever seen last year but I had to pass because of eab. The bucks are so responsive of calls and lure scents
Good luck to all

hunting there has drooped off because of lack of deer. plain and simple , it was good when they first opened it up . than every year less action . i hunted their and had no luck, the ranger there told me at the time they were having a problem with poachers.
