Thats a long way to go just to hunt whitetail.

Very Interesting. I camp there every year with the family but never hunt it. Its pretty interesting that you can hunt right off all the camping loops in the North End and the South End it's by the Cabins. Is there ever any conflicts with other non-hunting people in the park? I imagine it's busy with non-hunters coming to check out the fall colors.

Is there a map of where you are allowed to hunt?

My daughter will be with me all weekend in the stand. I am sure at some point we will deploy our lucky skittles.

Stay tuned you will be pleasantly surprised. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can’t believe I missed the Calvary by minutes! And he’s just down the road. Dang it all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely Fantastic! Could not have happened to a better guy, Congratulations!

There are rumors and accusations flying around like the monkeys in the wizard of Oz. We need hard evidence!

Someone spill the damn beans already!

So if you did not get them prior to them closing October 1st you are not eligible when they reopen November 1st?

I believe DMP's are closed right now but reopen November 1st. for a second round.

I would have cut that entire tree down and turned it into saw dust!

Not for a future date in time no. Sometimes after I shoot I'll wonder if a buck was following her. Since I started bow hunting 5 years ago I have started to pay more attention to the way the doe is behaving around the rut to see if she's been chased by a buck or not then determine to shoot or not.

First let me say the Doe population in my area is gigantic so there is no chance of hurting the herd and the ability to bring a buck in. I will take a Doe anytime anywhere, I hunt for the meat primarily so that is my number one objective. I also have a single bow kill so my thought may not matter much.

Fifth season taking it serious. I did a couple of seasons in my early 20’s but stopped for some strange reason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a morning! We where covered in deer from first light until 9:45! I don’t know why I waited so long to get into archery hunting there’s nothing like it. We got down at 10 and the buck, a small 4 pointer was dead only 40 yards from where he shot it. It was indeed a high and back shot. Dummy me didn’t check to see if it hit vitals but their was blood everywhere. He was down on himself for a moment when he shot it only because he knows there is a big one in the area that we are chasing. We told him to knock that off and be proud of the choice he made. In the end he was happy and we got a fair amount of making fun of him in while gutting the deer because the arrow caught stomach and ripped it open. We wanted to see him puke. Lol.

The last hour and a half has been about as much fun as one could have with their clothes still on! Been surrounded by deer. None of which gave me a shot but the young hunter I’m with has a small buck down. He hit a little high and a little back but it was pumping blood and we saw it lay down. We are giving it 2+ hours to expire just in case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last sit of the weekend. I’m headed home in the afternoon to take care of some stuff around the house. 45 degrees no wind. I’m hunting the same stand in the Oaks that I did yesterday evening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ended up having 2 doe come by around 4 then Had a fawn come by at 20 yards. A while later another doe came by but no shot offered. Just after 6 a beautiful 8 came to within 40 yards. He ended up busting me after a 15 min standoff. It was a great evening hunt. I was able to get into shooting position on three attempts without getting busted until that buck won after 15 min.

Well if nothing else happens tonight at least I’m getting good practice at not getting busted while getting into shooting position. 3 times now I’ve gotten ready unnoticed only to have the doe turn the wrong way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2 does just outside my comfort zone around 4pm and just now an unsupervised fawn broadside under 20 yards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Morning was a complete bust. Nothing seen. I don’t have high hopes for this evening either but no point staying in the clubhouse. Sitting in a different spot in a big section of oaks hoping they are hungry this evening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
