Oklahoma deer season success.

Who's been out, and what have you got?

The last two days for me has been phenomenal. two does and a trophy buck. I live and breathe to deer hunt. Crappie fish to fill in the time between.

The does are 116lbs and 112 lbs respectively. The buck is 12 points, weighed 182 lbs. All field dressed weights.
Green score on the buck is 160 5/8 B&C.

I don't know if its tapatalk thats doing that or what. I'm posting pics from photobucket links. Its not just CDC either, its every site I visit on tapatalk. I can see them on a computer, but not a cell.

Very nice! We've not had much luck at all. This will be the 4th year we've been trying to get my son his first buck...still trying lol. Had a 1/4 section near billings for 3 years and just didn't see much(he passed a 4 point the first year, his choice not mine) so this year I got in on a 5000 acre place up by Alva. And although in the long run it will be fantastic, The issue there this year is that the guys want to manage it heavily but with the drought our population is super low so there are very few "shooters" and we aren't shooting any does. Anyway, hopefully with the next 2 weekends even with the crazy weather our luck will change.

Good luck for the rest of your season.
I'm just 60 miles east of you and we had major die-off of deer as well. Mostly fawns because mama couldn't get enough water to make milk. Can't tell you how many fawn skulls we found while shed hunting. Our bucks are really big or yearlings. We are missing the middle class of bucks. The 2 1/2-3 1/2 year old bucks are nowhere to be seen. We are shooting does. They didn't have a problem coming back. We have a DMAP program going on the area, so the biologists are setting the limits for us.

Good job Dennis. I haven't seen but a few does and small bucks. Shot a hog opening day of black powder after seeing nothing. Movement has been next to zero around here the last few days. Need some deer steak and jerky meat!

Your experiencing lock down like the rest of us. The bucks pester the does so much they quit coming to feeding areas, and get out of their patterns to stay away from the bucks until they are ready to breed.

Its coming to an end shortly. Hang in there and success will be yours to enjoy. :D

Nice buck what county did you get him from

It's a .243WSSM, shooting a 100 grain BTHP Speer.

Last night was the end of gun season, so decided to use a pistol. S&W .45LC, hand loaded with 250 grain Hornady SST Bullets.

Actually, none of the 4 I've taken so far this season have gone to my freezer. I know some folks that have some issues in life, so every year, I do what I can to get them some protein.
I've got an elk hunting coming up, hopefully with some success there, my freezer will get filled.

I understand, helping people out. Elks primo eating. As I am sure you know.

AAAaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhYes, Sir Dennis knows ALL to well how good eating elk is.:ThumbsUp

Tag soup for me on the elk hunt. We had a great time, climbed up and down a lot of mountains, but they just weren't there.

Maybe next year!

I think I know where that picture was taken. Yes, this years hunt was disappointing. Sure screwed up my success ratio.

Sorry it's tag soup, however holiday season is open depending on the area you hunt. The does eat better anyways.
