So who made it out to the woods today and did anyone have any luck?
Opening Day
- Thread starter Josh Beauchamp
- Start date
Can't make it out until Saturday, but will have a new crossbow (shooters elbow and doc's recommendation that drawing a bow was not in my best interest was all the excuse I needed to justify this new purchase!) that I hope will be the ticket to success.

I've been too busy getting wheat planted at the farms, and the food plots in as well, but that's all behind me now. Going out tomorrow evening for the first time.
I've got some real bruisers in one tiny little 22 acre wood lot in the middle of a section. So far they have been nocturnal, but that's fixing to change.

Dennis if you need help controlling your deer herd I am more than willing to offer my services as a bow hunter lol

They haven't shown up in three days, ever since they combined the milo on the east.
Hopefully they are just hunkered down.

Where at in Oklahoma are you Dennis? If you are in the southwest this heat wave we are hitting is going to keep them nocturnal and close to water for another couple weeks.

I'm west of I35 about 15 miles, just south of the Kansas border. The heat has certainly kept movement at a minimum.
I'm hunting the location as we speak.
There was two does on the food plot walking in, so had to back out until they left.
With this heat and low winds, it will be all or nothing right at dark I'm thinking.
I have the only pond in ten square miles with any water in it.
Different buck showed up recently.

If that new buck is a bully he may have run the others off.

Bucks are still buddy's at the moment. That is subject to change in about a month.

Yeah that will change. Hopefully you can whack a big one. I know where a monster is who is plenty old enough but I can't touch him. Lives in the tree line a couple hundred yards south of the casino I work at. Problem is the casino don't own the land and the guy who does won't let people hunt.
