Anyone at the first ripley hunt this year?
 

Just wondering how they handled people that got their before noon on Wednesday? Charge $30 and let them in line? They’ve been changing it up the last few years, I was hoping someone could give me some insight?

Oh, and how was the hunting?

Thanks

I was at the first ripley hunt. I got there at 9:00 am on Wednesday, and it was just like any other year. (besides the 10 dollar fee) It sounded like anyone who showed up before 5:00am was camped on the frontage road along 371. From what I heard people started camping along the frontage road Tuesday night and those are the ones who got charged 30 dollars.

Hunting was pretty tough. Cold and rainy both days, but it sounded like some people did pretty good.

One other thing you might be interested in is that they were very strict about people cutting in line. If you got caught you went back to the end of the line, no excuses.

thanks! i got there at noon on friday and the line was ridiculously long. we were almost to where it turns back by the gate. crazy!

i only saw 2 deer! I got a doe though so it wasn't all bad. we saw 3 nice bucks. my buddy shot a spike w/ about 3 1/2 inch spikes! monster buck! anyway, thanks for the heads up.

glad i could help and congrats on the doe.
