Lemond33,
It will be great to have you hunt WCC! All that you have to do to archery hunt is stop by the park office and register. You can call for their hours 302-368-6900. Registration usually begins after labor day. If you've looked at the maps on the web you can see what the season dates are again these will be updated after the laborday holiday. I;m hoping they open more of the park to hunting, we'll have to wait and see.

Historicaly the park has 4 weeks of archery begining sometime in October. The first week and each weekend are lottery, after the first week Monday - Friday is first come fist pick!!! (There are 2 or 3 retired guys that get there about 3 AM to reserve a stand... although plenty to pick from) After the first week, you can get a stand just about any day. During archery you can harvest a buck or doe. Yes you can use a non-damaging climber (your Loan wolf will be fine) or you may hunt from the state stands. There are two areas of the park that are "Archery only", you must have a climber. These areas are marked with a yellow 4X4 post. It's a good idea to get familliar with the stand sites prior to opening day. Some can be hard to locate by flashlight if your new to the park.

Registration for shotgun hunting can be done right from the DE hunting guide or on line. The one requirement is that you must first harvest a doe before you can shoot a buck. Lot's of guy's get their doe during archery season. Don't let this get out but it's very easy to get selected for this Park. As a matter of fact even if you dont have a reservation for a specific day all remaining stands are given out on a daily lottery. Very few get turned away. I like to put in for a stand in January and get in the lottery for the earlier Nov & Dec season. You'll have to let me know when you plan on hunting, it would be great to meet you.

I almost forgot, the crops are usually a mix of corn and beans depending on which tract of land.
