He told Fox News Digital that there were over 600 people at the county event.
In the 48-second clip he shared to TikTok, McIntosh showed the park was filled with crowds of people before the hunt began. He also noted that vacuums and TVs were listed as winnable prizes.
By the time it got dark, McIntosh can be seen running through a field and grabbing an egg that’s been painted black from the ground. Other participants opted to climb and scour trees for the camouflaged eggs.

A spokesperson for Greene County Parks & Trails said "just under 750 people" participated in the Extreme Egg Hunt and "approximately 430 prizes" were given out, but five went unclaimed.
In an email sent to Fox News Digital, Greene County Parks & Trails confirmed the "extreme" nature of its egg hunt. Some eggs were in fact hidden in trees, buried under logs or placed near creek banks.
"We hid 6,000 eggs in the woods for adults only to hunt, after dark, with flashlights only," Greene County Parks & Trails wrote. "There is no limit to the number of eggs, or prizes, that you can get."
"Every egg had a piece of candy and a ticket," the statement continued. "Once they opened all their eggs, they had to scan a QR code that contained all the winning prize numbers. If they had a winner, they went to the prize room where they got to see what they won."
