I was at one of 'em yesterday...the deer have absolutely demolished the place(Brinka-Cross), These are relatively small places but get pressure around them thru the season....His "camera counts" are not close to being actual numbers, he even mentions that, but a dozen or so can do some damage quick....these places can be easily Bow hunted just by doing so in the regular bow season...BCG is between I94 and US 20, west of the old Pine school, north of 20 is a huge stretch of National Lake Shore property, trails lead across the highway to and from....Sunset Hill is a tad larger, but gets more people thru the year hiking and youth outdoor programs too. Used to rabbit hunt at Sunset Hill as a kid when it was still a private farm.....not sure about the other...I believe Lake County parks allow bowhunting in some of their county parks....
