That's awesome. The WIHA program really is a shining beacon of private-public cooperation. Hopefully the added lands are in one of my two deer units out west.
I seriously doubt you'll see any less hunters. If CPW followed precedent, the number of draw tags will be very similar to the number of OTC hunters. Either way, good luck and enjoy the beautiful terrain.
I believe that place gets hit hard with shed hunters. My wife drew a spring turkey tag a few years ago and it seemed shed hunters were every where, on foot and horseback.
