i put a camera out around the 4th and have this buck coming in. the last pic i uploaded is him last year as a 3.5 yr old. seeing what this buck did in a year will make you think twice about shooting "cull bucks".
ODWC's drawing process is so weird, My group hasn't drew since 2014, yet my cousin and uncle drew Salt Plains archery last year, and this year cousin draws the SP black powder hunt, and uncle draws the Buck Antelope in Cimarron County. WTH?
it could be we are applying as a group of four...
My son drew pushmataha wma youth. If anyone has any insight on this hunt please PM me, I am not familiar with it. I plan on bow hunting it before the hunt to get some good scouting in.
My son shot his biggest buck last night, he was quartering to us at about 40 yards and trying to get our wind, he put it right on the front point of his shoulder and smoked him, 7mm-08 120gr sst. He ran about 15 yards and tipped over. This buck came out and started going away from us, i hit...
Not really a need for that, the scapula is high and forward, the triangle up from the elbow is the money spot.. i'm speaking from experience, mechanicals, fixed.. ive shot deer with both in this spot and they will die in seconds.
Sounds like he was quartering to him a tad, if you aim behind the shoulder at even at that anglr you only get 1 lung.. the biggest mistake i see people make is aiming to far behind the shoulder. With a bow, I aim directly up the leg in the lower 2/3s of the deer.. that way if it jumps the...
The Bucks on my place have been hitting my mock scrapes since the first weekend in September. I started putting as many mock scrapes as i could around travel areas, then hung a camera on the one they hit the most.
My cousin was one of the 3 that killed a deer at the Salt Plains hunt last year, the conditions on the archery hunt were less than ideal. PM me if you want some more info.
I too was at the show and watched this buck get scored by George Moore, My buck was the next one he scored. I talked to the hunter and asked him about it, said he killed on 5 acres just like it was reported, told me it was his 1st buck, same as reported. It just seems super sketchy to me...
my observation of qdm in oklahoma is this: Since the ODWC dropped the buck limit to 2 the quality of deer have improved greatly, we have some giant deer in this state. People are passing young bucks and it is showing. I cant imagine what it would be like with a Kansas type season, 1 buck...
I shot my #1 hit list buck this evening after work, he chased a doe up into a pasture with thickets and oaks scattered throughout.
I used the terrain and cover to sneak to 30 yards and kill him. He laid down on the other side of a ditch with some debris in front of him, I drew and he stood...
Thanks dennis!, I know you guys kill every year in NM, talking about gutting them, do you guys not do the gutless method on them? They're so dang big we never touch the guts, you can get the tenderloins from the top behind the last rib. We break them down take the quarters off then bone them...
My brother and I drew a pretty good archery only unit this past year. On the second day of the hunt I had the best hunt I have ever had..
I thought I was screwed after the first night of hunting, walking back to camp, somehow my GPS got hung on some brush down in a deep ravine and came out...
