Have not hunted that park but have hunted several others in the area. First I would go down there and get a map of the open areas to hunt. Then get on google maps and look over the area and look for some natural pinch points or funnels that the deer may follow. Try to getaway he parking area as fare s you can. These deer will get smart real fast with all the people in the woods after the first few weeks. My opinion your best shot will be out of a stand. Get a climber ,they are fast and light. Go down and walk the woods that you want to hunt look for those spots you found on the map .Look for trails, beds ,old rubs and scrapes these will tell you that the deer were using these areas during the season. Try to find a place that's easy to access in the dark.Try and t up off the trails about 15yds r more.If you can find where seveal trails cross even better. Creek crossings can be great but the wind in the bottoms can be hard to predict. will see what I can find out about that park ???
