My Dad and I were at Shakamak Monday and Tuesday. A lot of rule changes since last time we had been there. Last time we were there, if you were in a cabin you could just get up in the morning and go into the woods and call in to report you were out. Now you have to go to the gate and get in line to go back in and go to the gate to check out. Honestly, I get it, makes it safe and fair and they have a good account of everyone. Weren't many deer. Monday, we saw one small buck, but didn't have a clean shot at him. It was kind of funny, it actually walked right behind my Dad as he had just got up to stretch his legs and come chat with me. I didn't have a shot because my Dad was in between and he didn't have a shot obviously with his back turned. We froze, hoping he'd continue past us and eventually be broadside to us, but after looking us over for a minute he turned and trotted into the brush. Monday we heard six shots with two of those sounding like the same guy shooting twice. We were told later five deer were taken; four does and a small buck. And we heard that lots of guys left Monday night instead of staying for both days. We left the park about 1:00 yesterday having heard one shot and the gate said one doe had been taken and only four hunters were left in the woods. We had good interactions with everyone, never even seen another hunter during hunting hours except for one guy that was driving around. Staying in a cabin on a lake and spending the day in the woods sure beat being at work.
