The waterfowl guys are having pretty good luck at Ft Cobb. I have had luck during the controlled hunt in early October before waterfowl season kicks off.
Man, any of y'all want to adopt a 37 boy for a weekend father/son doe hunt to thin the herd? I won't even mind if I'm older than my adoptive dad. I hunt Fort Sill and it's archery only for the rest of the year.
The next two weekends provide a great opportunity to hunt. We can take:
deer (guns for does or sticks for bucks), turkey (sticks), ducks, geese, sand hill crane, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, rabbit, squirrel, coon, crow. Did I miss anything?
If I don't see one of these animals I ... I ... I will be very surprised.

Rail, galinule?
Get all you can. You'll be benefiting the herd in general. Good luck!

Will give it another shot this w/e and maybe this Wednesday.

How's that .270 work on those ducks Tim?
what is dmap
DMAP(deer managment assistance program) is an area where a land owner, or land owners with enough property, and have a over population of does, can work with the ODW to try and get the buck to doe ratio back to the preferred 1 to 1.
In the fall, around Sept., spotlight surveys are taken to determine the deer population, and the results given to the ODW biologist to analyze. They come back with recomendations for harvesting a certain number of deer. It doesn't happen in one season, and takes years to gently get the herd back in to a good healthy population.
I hunt on a DMAP, and have been for 6 years now. We are making gains, and the landowner I hunt on is committed to getting the herd where it belongs.
