[QUOTE="deerwhacker444, post: 2983588, member: 9117"] The last 2 hunts I've been drawn for were disappointments. First one was Sequoyah NWR. You can't go in the night before and set up stands or anything because they draw for hunt areas the morning of. The area I got drawn had a wheat field on it, surrounded by old growth woods. Problem was, the woods were literally covered with old growth honeysuckle. So much so that there wasn't really any young vegetation, it was all covered by a thick woven mat of honeysuckle. The hogs had made trails thru the mats, but you had to get down on hands and knees and crawl, there was no standing or walking. One step into the honeysuckle mat and everything within 1/4 mile knew you were there. Was totally pointless. Maybe if you had a 20ft. tripod that could get you up in the air for a look. Left after the first morning, won't put in for that one ever again. Second one was the Golf course at Beaver's bend. That was natures fault, not the DOWC. The hunt was right after a flood and half the place was under water. The deer don't stay on the golf course, they wander in and feed at night from the surrounding property. The idea is to sneak in in the morning and shoot the deer that have accumulated overnight. However, the flood had SIGNIFICANTLY decreased the pathways onto the course for the deer to follow. 1 or 2 people had a chance to hunt those trails in, the rest of us were strewn about the golf course where nothing could get. I spent the time watching ducks and looking at quartz rocks, left that hunt after the first evening. Would have had more fun if I'd had a shotgun..
