Never deer hunted there, but tried coyote calling there once several years back...weather was uncooperative for calling as it turned out, but saw tons of deer, hope the numbers are still there for yall
Ended up getting the confirmation emails Tuesday night, both my kids here got drawn for the Washita doe hunt, same hunt dates which will make it a bit harder, just have to recruit some help!
It was a long time ago when I went on that hunt but seems like the food plots close to their headquarters building was the most productive. Although, I really enjoyed scouting for the most elk sign and hunting in those areas. It was a super cool experience to be in a tree stand and have an elk walk below you while you are waiting on deer. Seems like during the summer months they used to allow people to ride horseback and go hiking. I think they allow fishing on their ponds as well. Maybe you can make a trip over there this summer to familiarize yourself with the area. There are some really steep hills in that WMA, so steep and covered in gravel that you can't hiking straight up the mountain side. Some of the roads were not able to go in my 2WD pickup. They were usually loop roads so you could get down the steep runs but going up was near impossible.
I had the same question. A guy at work is listed as a hunter on his son in laws hunt choices. His copy said the same thing or similar
Im not exactly sure...maybe it has something to do with licenses? Is it a WMA hunt or federal? Do you have a lifetime license and your hunting partner doesn’t? I think the WMA hunts the lifetime holders don’t pay for the bonus tags. Sorry I dont have a definitive answer.
Interesting. I would have thought it was if one had a lifetime and the other didn't to be exempt on fees. Guess not.
December 17-19. First elk hunt, first time hunting that part of the state. Gonna be scouring for tips and gear recommendations over the next few months.
