Got mine as well. Not sure what spots I'm going to apply for. I hunted the first hunt they ever had back in the day. I know the public spots pretty well in the area. Got to make sure I can make it to the scouting days.

Dang Bartman, didn't know you were that old! I killed my first sika there in '86 when I was 16 and I know it was going on a few years before that.

Fox is just riled up because we measure age in sika kills. And he's still in a stroller!!! Bwaaaa-haaaaa-haaaa!!

Actually Dave, I'm only 27. I must have got it wrong. I thought the first year I hunted there was the first year. I was about 12 years ago though.

Bart, it was at least 86, my Mom was working in the office at Blackwater around then - that's how I found out about the hunts. Not nearly as many areas open then, and they had a standby system back then! I'd go and wait early to draw for the spots of guys that didn't show up. Used to see HERDS of sikas back then, nothing like now... Fox has to hunt sika with a camo pacifier in his mouth!!!

Late 70's I'd ride thru Blackwater midday during deer season ,and see 50-100. Just hanging inside the wood edge, up in the middle of the day!

I remember the first day I hunted there, this one guy killed a sika and a whitetail. He said each came in herds of like 15 deer.

Only thing comparable was the first year they opened Tridelphia. I drew that year, and saw 86 deer by noon. When I came out, one of the MNCPPC guys asked me if I saw anything (I had taken 2 does) And I told him 86. He laughed and said I must not've been paying attention. He counted over 250 come across the field and road from my area!
That place was unreal the first few years.I stopped hunting sikas in '86, now have got it bad again the last few years.
