I am up near Jesse and Daren (in Claremore), and have 3 or 4 trad. hunting buddies in the area.

We try to make as many of the Trad. 3-d shoots as we can (we don't compete, just pay for a fun round or two).

We also make a few bows so OJAM in March is a must for us. Any of you attended?

We are all in. What's the plan?

Looking at the picture on Paul's profile gave me an idea.

We should try and set up a hog hunt somewhere. I have hunted them up on Keystone Lake (public land no less), but they are fairly scarce and its a hard hunt. Fun, but tough.

Any one have suggestions?

Heyburn wma has them too.Used to be quite a few and not to bad to hunt.I haven't been there in a while but I'm fairly sure they are in the same places.I can make a few calls and find out,Jesse.   :goldtooth:                                                                             Its just a few miles from keystone.

Title: Re: Calling all Oklahomans
Post by: Stick_N_String on January 08, 2009, 11:16:00 AM
Jesse,
I used to hunt Heyburn quite a bit. I even had a lease across the road from the waterfowl refuge back in 96.
Didn't know there were any hogs there. I've been chasing them around Cherokee and Gruber public land in Eastern Ok for the last couple of weeks, lots of sign but no hogs yet.

Post by: Stick_N_String on January 10, 2009, 10:22:00 PM
Alright guys we kinda got this rolling with out you all.
I went to Cherokee Friday with Jesse69 and my son . I shot my first wild hog right at dark.
We were unsure of the hit so we marked the spot and left. Went back this morning with my son, best friend Russell, Russell's dad Doyle and new friend Archenemy. My son found my hog about an hour after daylight she went about 80 yards. I hit her about where I thought I did but she was angling towards me I got her liver. Glad I decided to let her lay overnight.  
This evening my best friend Russell shot a good boar right at dark, we decided to let him lay up tonight and get him in the morning.

Hey bloodyarrow,I would like to see this come together but have not seen a lot of response.I've been huntin with Daren(stick_n_string) and we are heavy into the hawgs,Jesse.
Title: Re: Calling all Oklahomans
Post by: Stick_N_String on January 11, 2009, 07:42:00 PM
That's right. Jesse has been a couple times with us and Archenemy went Saturday morning.
We went back this morning Jesse69, Russell and myself. Russell and I sat where he shot his hog Saturday evening for about an hour then went to see if we could find it.
He wasn't exactly sure where he left off on the blood trail so we paralle'd the hill trying to cut blood, we hadn't gone 50 yards into the brush when I looked ahead and could see a hog laying about 30 yards in front of us. I checked it out with my bino's and could tell the hog was laying on his side.
We made our way up to the hog, it was a nice boar
Russell had been within 50 yards of him last night, it was getting dark and he wasn't exactly sure of the hit so he backed out. Turned out the hit although not ideal, was lethal. The hog turned just as Russell released, the arrow caught the hog in the left ham and penetrated up into the vital's. The hog traveled about 80 yards after the shot.
It's been a lot of fun meeting and hunting with Jesse 69 and Archenemy. I'm looking forward to hunting more often with them and others that we meet here on the gang!!!!!

I just want to say thanks to Daren for lettin' me tag along.  Got to hunt a new place with a great bunch of guys. I definately want to go again.

As far as the Jan. 31st hunt goes I can't make any commitments at this time.  My wife is gong to be induced on the 26th for our baby girl!  Yea, its about time. We are going to name her Easton except spell it Eastyn.  I would love to go with you all, but again I can't promise anything yet.  

Daren tell Russell congrats on his hog.  Sounds like you found the right location.  Guys he is correct.  There was more hog sign there than I've ever seen in one spot.

Thanks Archenemy,
You are more than welcome to go any time you can get away. Just give me a call.
We are going to let that area rest for a week or so, then hit it again.
Jesse saw several deer Sunday morning, including a really nice 8 pointer. Just couldn't get close enough to get a shot.

Hey guys, I'm in northwest Arkansas and using the 412 tollroad I can get to the Tulsa area in a couple hours.  Where is this Hog hunt taking place? Is it near Lake Keystone, I know where thats at.  How about hog killing, does that take out of state license or like Mo. you don't need one for hogs?
Title: Re: Calling all Oklahomans
Post by: Stick_N_String on January 16, 2009, 02:04:00 PM
arklongbowman,
You do need to have a  non-res. hunting license, I looked at the reg's and the 5 day is sufficient but it went up to $70!!!
We've been hunting at Cherokee Public hunting area. It's down by Talequah.
That's fine by me. I'll throw out some date's and you all give me some feed back.
BTW here's a picture of the hog I shot on the 9th at Cherokee:  (http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww247/Stick_N_String/786084-R1-02-1A.jpg)

I am hoping this will not be the only time we do this. So far all the dates have not been good for me. In and out of town for work and such.

You guys all get together and figure out where the best place is and I will show up and show all ya'll how to miss!

Seriously... I hope all of you can get together. We have needed to try and do this for a while.

Those of us in the NE part of the state (or any where else for that matter) is there a place out at Oolagah where we could meet up on a Sat afternoon and set up a short 3-d or a simple target range to fling arrows at?

What happened to the 31st of Jan?  Feb is out for me.  Is there a location decided on?  I think it should be somewhat central for the folks around OKC (like the guy that started this)  Heyburn or DeepFork may be good.

It's looking like the 21st/22nd of Feb. I had already commited to hunt Cherokee Jan. 24th and 25th. IF anyone here wants to join us, you are more than welcomed to. Just let me know and we'll meet up somewhere along the way.
As for where, anywhere around Heyburn or Keystone.
I also just got some info from the processor I use, about a place towards Hominy that's private and is over run with hogs, he says the land owner will let any who ask's, shoot all the hogs they want.
I'll try to contact him this week and see how many he'll let come on his place.

BTW:
We got back from the Boar's nest late last night, 5 of us brought home 5 hogs.
I'll post some pic's after I get the film developed.

Jesse got a 100# sow
Russell got a 100# sow
Brannon got a 125# boar
Jeremy (son of Stick_N_String) got a 200# sow and a 50# sow.

I didn't shoot anything. Passed on several hogs and Had a great time.

Post by: Stick_N_String on January 20, 2009, 11:04:00 AM
Hello Brian   :wavey:  
I'm hoping that we can all get togather several times a year. I'm looking at some 3-D shoots mainly trad shoots, where we can all get togather. One i'd like to see everyone make is the Great Southern Plains shoot at Mcalester.
I'm also working ( in my head right now ) on getting something togather in Texas. I'd like to do something like the Texas vs. Oklahoma shoot out but instead of 3-D make it a hog hunt.
Who all would be interested in doing something like that????

Hey Paul,
If your luck is like mine you'd get way down there in those ridges, your wife would go into labor, and you'd miss the whole thing.  :scared:

rbbhunt, I'm working on that one.Tomorrow I'll be talking to the processor that's cutting up our hogs from last weekend, he was telling me about a gentleman over at Hominy that has a place that's overrun with hogs and is practically begging people to come shoot them. I'm hoping we can get permission to get on his place.

Daren let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out.  Maybe we can meet with land owner. If it all works out we should all pitch in and get him a gift card to his favorite resturant, or something like that.

The high is going to be 35 tomorrow! I went to Cherokee today to look around today. Never been there before. Man are there some rough roads and terrain in there. Got a flat tire crossing a shallow creek.
I didn't see any hog sign but lots of deer and turkey sign. I saw two bald eagles there too. Very cool!

Hope your hand is ok Daren!
Title: Re: Calling all Oklahomans
Post by: Stick_N_String on January 23, 2009, 09:55:00 PM
Bald Eagles, that is cool!!!! I've never seen an Eagle there before.
Do you remember what creek you were crossing when you got a flat???
The hand is feeling better, I can make a fist now but I can't put any pressure on my palm.

Post by: razorsharptokill on January 24, 2009, 10:57:00 AM
I'm thinking it was greenleaf creek. It was just a sharp rock. My tires are pretty thin. I was on theeast end of White Oak road.

Hello Dewayne, We didn't see any hogs but we saw quite a bit of fresh sign. I'm going to go Saturday ,that's the last day that the refuge is open. If I think I can get in to the area I've been going. When this ice thaws out I may not be able to get in there with my 2 wheel drive.
If not I'm going to go over to Hominy and see if I can get permission from some of the landowners around the river.

Title: Re: Calling all Oklahomans
Post by: Stick_N_String on January 29, 2009, 03:09:00 AM
not yet, I'm still trying to come up with some private land for us to look for some hogs on.
I have a couple leads over by Hominy that I'm going to check out this weekend.
I'm really trying to keep it between Tulsa and OKC that way it will be easier for everyone that wants to show up.
If anyone has info on hogs somewhere between here and there please step up. Or we could do rabbits, I'm not picky, just want to meet some new people and shoot my bow.

Title: Re: Calling all Oklahomans
Post by: razorsharptokill on January 29, 2009, 04:41:00 AM
Daren, I think we need to check "your spot" at Cherokee now that the snow and ice has stopped. I bet they are hungry!

I talked to a kid at the McDonalds on the way back home last Sunday, he asked what I was hunting and he said there are lots of hogs around Porter just South of there. Might head over there and ask around.
Title: Re: Calling all Oklahomans
Post by: Stick_N_String on January 29, 2009, 10:28:00 AM
Hey Jim,
What's going on??? Yeah I really like that spot and I'm planning on going one day this weekend.
There are a lot of hogs around the Arkansas river and the Navigation channel south of Wagoner, I know a guy that has permission to hunt an area East of 69 hwy around the lock and dam. I've been trying to get a hold of him we've been playing phone tag. Jim if you can get away this weekend let me know.
Daren
Title: Re: Calling all Oklahomans
Post by: gak on January 29, 2009, 12:01:00 PM
I hope that you guys can locate something between OKC and Tulsa for this hunt because I would like to come if at all possible.  Cherokee and Porter would be across the state for me if that's where you decide to hunt.  I'll keep watching this post to see where this event will take place.

Hey Greg,
You know where any hogs are on Black Kettle????
I used to come out there and Turkey hunt in the spring but I haven't been out there in several years. I'd like to come out there this spring and try to get a turkey with my recurve.

Post by: gak on January 29, 2009, 03:09:00 PM
Daren,

I haven't seen any hogs on the areas of Black Kettle I've hunted but I hear that there are some around Reydon.  I know that there are some in the northern part of the county up by the river. As for turkeys there are plenty around here.  I saw some yesterday coming back from Reydon about 2:30 p.m. Let me know if you plan on coming out this spring and maybe I can put something together.

Dewayne the 21st is solid. Just not sure what or where I'm open to ideas.
Guys I'm easy, I'll drive across the state to hunt or shoot doesn't really matter. Is there anything closer to OKC what about Lexington does anyone know anything about it.

Greg,
Thanks we'll definetly have to do that.
I've also hunted Packsaddle, Cooper and Ft. Supply but it's been years ago.
I've also heard some great things about Beaver River and Optima I plan on checking them out this summer I really want to get a nice Muley buck with my recurve.

Hey guys!  Daren, hows your hand? Are you back to shooting?  Well I guess you know by now that the Super Bowl is this Sunday and not the 8th like I posted at the begining of this thread.  I don't know what I was thinking.  Stupid me I guess.

Can't wait to see where this hunt is going to take place.

I can probably get away some time this weekend. I have a buddy that is just getting into traditional and he's wanting to get out some where too. Rabbit, hogs, spoonbill,(heard they are moving up the rivers) whatever sounds good. I'm on midnights and get off work at 8:00 a.m. sat. morning.
Title: Re: Calling all Oklahomans
Post by: Stick_N_String on February 03, 2009, 03:25:00 AM
Sorry I haven't been on in a few days, my internet and phone have been down since early Friday morning.  
Ok guys here's the deal I'm going to Heyburn this coming weekend. A couple of people that I know live in the area and confirmed that the hogs are there. I have a couple different area's that I'm going to look at. There are also a ton of Rabbits on the area so we should be able to find something to fling some arrows at.
February 21st at Heyburn public Hunting area.
Does anyone know of a good place close to that area where we could all meet and maybe have a little breakfast before the fun starts????
Also lets get a head count of who's for sure going to make it.

There's  C-store at Hwy 33 and 48 that is real close to the hunting area.  Might be a good place to meet.  The guys coming from the west won't have to backtrack any.  I afriend talked to the game warden for the area an he welcomes people to come out and kill some hogs.

I know which one you're talking about.
That sounds good they serve some breakfast sandwiches and stuff. What time does it get daylight??? I think we need to meet about a half hour or so before good light.

Keath, hopefully we can do this a few times a year. I'd like to put another hunt togather this fall for deer and hogs.

We did shoot a lot of does, matter of fact I was on that lease for 2 years and never killed a buck.
There are some good bucks in that area.

I just saw this thread.

Is this hunt full?

I rarely kill anything so I probably won't interfere with anyone's hunt.

Is there a turnpike exit close to the meeting spot?

Bow: either an osage selfbow or a Lonetree Ocelot longbow.
Title: Re: Calling all Oklahomans
Post by: archenemy on February 19, 2009, 04:22:00 PM
The more the merrier.  Which turnpike are you taking.  I think there is an exit on the Cimarron for HWY48 and go south to 33.  Or from the Turner take the Bristow exit and go north to 33.

If there is an easier way I sure someone will chim in.  The map I'm looking at is about 10 years old.  HaHa.

As most of you know already OJAM is from March 19 through the 22.  The 3d course is free this year, so if nothing esle come and shoot the course.  Backwoods Bowhunters and Okmulgee County Bowhunters are both having a shoot the weekend after that.  I know I'm hitting OJAM and most likely Okmulgee's shoot.  Hope to see some of you there.
