No luck with Elk this year in the controlled hunt draw but my after thought application for McAllister Deer was drawn. If anyone has experience with this hunt, I would appreciate any tips or suggestions. Thanks
It's not like that anymore, folks drive in, out for lunch, back in after lunch. It's way different than when Starry ran it.Unless they changed it , they used to load you in the back of a truck drive you to your assigned area and you stayed in that hunting area till they picked you up . Really easy hunting , almost too easy
Good AdviceI'm going this weekend. It can be pretty darn hot the first w/e (disability hunt), but this w/e appears to be destined for unseasonably cool weather. Don't worry, I won't take all the B&C monsters.
Tip:
Remember MCAAP is an Army base.
Do what the White hats suggest.
Be nice to hunters, volunteers and staff. The White Hats are volunteering (often 5 straight weekends) and they have to deal w/ some knuckleheads each week. This hunt is the best ODWC offers.
Do NOT take ammo on base.
Do NOT smoke / have a spark device in the hunt area.
Take a blind.
Take a doe (or pig) ASAP to secure a QP (Quality Pass) to bypass lottery next year.
Do NOT hike to the farthest point of your area. There are deer everywhere. BIG ones, too.
Do take toilet paper & water. It can be a long day.
Do NOT climb on bombs!
Drive the speed limit.
Do NOT get hissy if you don't get to put a pin on the exact spot you want to hunt. There are deer everywhere. BIG ones, too.
Use a harness if you get off the ground!
Expect a few BOOMS!
Do NOT sh*t yourself after the first bomb explodes. It was planned.
Follow the rules -->
DO NOT RUIN THIS HUNT FOR THE REST OF US!
Good luck and be safe ...
