i'd say its on here in central Oklahoma. seeing mature bucks in the wide open pastures, getting daylight pictures of good bucks. was late getting to my stand yesterday and ran a buck out of the pasture pulling in that was with a doe and he was mature. Also noticed an uptick in road kill. Get out and kill this weekend before the orange army shows up next week!
All i saw yesterday while in stand was small bucks and doe. but the small bucks were pestering the does as well.
Lots of chasing and deer movement. Seen a buck and a doe bedded in a wheat field together, worn out. Coons and a cat also this morning. View attachment 109280
I have a lease now, but still hunt thunderbird occasionally. There's a ton of pigs on both sides. 3 years ago, you would see some sign. 2 years ago rooting all over the place. Last year I saw up to 12 at once. You can't bait and you can only hunt then with a bow during deer season only. Given that, it's infested this year. You have zero options to control the heard since you can't trap and it's bow only. The deer hunting has already declined in the areas I hunt due to it. I know it's not hunting pressure.Are you hunting near thunderbird lake still? im hearing stories about how bad they are getting on the lake. i live 1/2 mile from the water and dont get any pigs on camera on my property. I have once in 15 years.
I have heard reports about very large ones off peebly on east side of the lake.
