Unbelievably this is 2 in a row for me! Each year is getting better. I almost got to draw my bow last year.  :)

I drew Hominy in Oct! Sorry I will already have the biggest buck in that area harvested before you get there  :D  LOL I am glad to get to go I have blanked out on the draw for years I wondered if it would ever really happen.

Last time I hunted there we had one the most wanted bucks trail a doe in the ditch beside us as we went in to scout and hang stands  Cody probably will kill the biggest one in Hominy and a couple hogs too!

My 1st draw about 4 years ago was in Hominy, didnt see any bucks and only 5 does the whole weekend.

Really have no clue where I'm going to go.

Jim congrats - we drew Hominy the last weekend of Oct. I've been there a few times. Give me a shout and I'll point you in some areas where we have taken a few in the past.

Jim, I'm in the weekend after Tommy, and the weekend before you.  We'll have to get together and compare notes!  I'll definitely give you a report after my hunt!  :wavey:

Ok sounds good! Too bad we didnt get the same weekend. I have some river cane arrows that fly amazingly well. I'm leaning toward my selfbow.
Title: Re: McAlester draw 2011
Post by: shawnee on July 07, 2011, 12:01:00 PM
I will definitely be hunting with my selfbow and stone tipped river cane!  Can't wait!
Title: Re: McAlester draw 2011
Post by: razorsharptokill on July 07, 2011, 01:06:00 PM
I have some 200 grain Ace heads that I may use. I have several rivercane arrows with 160 grain grizzlies too. Hard to choose. Two, two fletched arrows, one with trade point and one with flint.....hmmmm.

I killed a doe last year in deer creek so I will  be there the 14th-16th I guess.  My friends missed last year so I am on my own this time.  I think I have a good area if I can get it again.  I would like to find two hunters to ride in my truck and hunt this area if anyone is interested lets talk.  It is hard to be a truck driver alone and I realy want to hunt this area again.

Post by: Steel on July 07, 2011, 03:39:00 PM
Does anyone have any tips on what type of tree stand(fixed/climber) to bring to Hominy? I haven't hunted there before and wonder which will work best overall for the trees there?
Title: Re: McAlester draw 2011
Post by: TroutGuide on July 07, 2011, 04:31:00 PM
Bring both if you can. Carry the hang on the scouting day and get it up and then find a good tree for your climber and haul it in when you plan on hunting that tree. Worked for us in deer creek.  I think Hominy has more bottomland type habitat that would suit a climber, but I can use a chain on in almost any tree so I would choose it if I had to pick.

This will be my first time in hominy too. I'm there Nov.4-6. I've hunted deer creek and boggy the last two years and I couldnt believe I got drawn out for a third year. Didnt have much luck in deer creek but anybody going to boggy I can put you on a pretty good spot.
Title: Re: McAlester draw 2011
Post by: 2madjacks on July 08, 2011, 06:24:00 PM
I too will be there Nov 4-6 Boggy, I have hunted Boggy and Hominy in the past. Any pointers on Boggy would be great.  

Thinking for me that its time to put the modern camo away and start sporting something a little more buckskinnish (new word there)lol, maybe some leggins and wool or somthing of the sort.

Drew boggy!  Hunted boggy  two years ago, got my best buck ever.  Can't wait.

Thats October 14-16th  Anyone hunting that weekend?  I have a good spot and would like to hook up with a couple of guys to try and hunt it again this year.
Title: Re: McAlester draw 2011
Post by: razorsharptokill on July 10, 2011, 10:53:00 AM
I saw a few small bucks in Boggy along a fire brake. They crossed in the same spot daily. I can point it out if I had a pic.

My buddies and I got drawn for Deer Creek Oct 28-30. We have never been up there so any advice would be helpful. Is this all trail hunting and can you bait? I am looking forward to this hunt. I may even have to go to the 3D shoot now so I can make it to the velvet tour to see some of the deer.

Our group drew Deer Creek the last weekend in October.  This will be our first time to hunt there.  I've been to the Trad shoot there in August a few times and have taken the "Velvet Tour" so I know what possibilities exist.

I didn't get in the draw this year. (I drew a Wyo elk tag and didn't want any potential conflicts.)

For those interested, I've got a pdf file of the hunt area map.

Send me your email if you want it.

I will be hunting deer creek Oct. 28-30,  I have never been there, but I sure am excited.

If anyone could give me any clues as to where might be a good spot to try I would be grateful to you!

We'll be in Deer Creek the last weekend in Oct.  Was wondering what the dates are for the first weekend of the hunts. (Trying to figure out how many weekends have been hunted before we go).  
Hoping for some reports from some of the early weekend hunters  before too long.
