the park is on dalton creek road off 377 between rocksprings and delrio. little hole in the wall store that I think closed last year right at the road. you turn on dalton creek and it is about 21 miles to the park and river down in there. I used to get to hunt on the barnes ranch which butts up to the park. we pulled tons of animals off the park by supplemental feeding. very rough country, you either up top on the platue or your in the bottom of a canyon with near vertical faces on the canyon walls. bunch of turkey, some barbadoe,axis and other exotics as well. the park offers archery only draw hunts through the tpwd hunts every year.

yes, then it was sold around 2000 to a guy I was working for at the time. That place is loaded with sheep!! Some big rams on it, we killed several over 32" and one that went 36. was a lot of fun!

I grew up going out to that ranch, the Barnes were family friends. My dad hunted those rams with his bow and took some with rifles. What a crazy coincidence!

That's one of the things I like about this site, I get to live vicariously through other people's hunts.
