The Fort has different seasons than the rest of the state, and it is open to hunting deer, no lottery. There is an elk herd there too, but that is a draw. Hunting the base requires an orientation class and registering your weapons at the gate. The public land around there gets hit hard, and it pushes the deer onto private land or makes them go nocternal. The best bet it to get access to private land, which can be difficult as the state has become like Texas in terms of the lease crap in the eastern portion of it. The best option besides that is to hunt walk in management land (think block management, but not even close to size and scope.) This tends to get less pressure, especially away from population centers and can hold some good game. Another option is to enter the KDWP Special Hunts lottery. I used to do that every year and would always get some type of hunt and most often was successful.
