Numbers were down on first day...they said about half of normal harvest. Likely due to the "no help" policy this year. No rides in or out, although we did call and request a ride out and they obliged for 4 of us.
We were close to 3miles in, and heck of a trip out with 2 small bucks! We made it about half way out and it was 5:30...guys in front of us thankfully got cell signal and called for a ride. Would have been out there late!
Definitely recommend a deer cart, and choose hunt location wisely based on drag/cart pull distance.
Good luck!
