As stated before get off the beaten path yes there are many hunters around Clinton lake but many will only walk a short distance to hunt the payoff there is to find a area where the walk in and out is longer than 1/4 mile. Just hunted at Moraine view St. Park today on the Youth Pheasant hunt and saw several stands in the woods and tons of deer sign. They allow them to stay up but archery is only open on Mon and Tuesdays due to the controlled pheasant hunting that goes on wed to sundays.
