4 of us got drawn at Salt Plains last year, they did not tell us which area we had until the day of the hunt, you get your assignment and follow a ranger to the spot right then. The night before the hunt we drove around, saw at least 100 does and several bucks on the refuge area and were pumped up. When we got to our area the next day it was about 1.5 miles long by 3/4 miles wide and surrounded on 3 sides by private land with deer stands everywhere. Sand hills, thick creek bottom and tall grass, no food plots. We jumped a spike walking in Friday night and later that evening saw one doe hauling butt at about 200 yards. Sat morning I saw a nice 10 pointer in some thick brush, but didn't have my doe yet and wouldn't have had a good shot anyway. Saw a couple other spikes and some running does the rest of the trip. 1 out of the 4 of us shot a doe and a decent 8 point. We were drawn the last hunt of December, I don't think that helped our cause, but I would love to go back, there are some huge deer up there.
