Hunting MCAAP(boggy) this weekend and his trad stuff is addicting!

Achiro · November 08, 2011, 12:17:00 PM

First, any tips for boggy would be great.
Now on to the trad shooting stuff. I've bow hunted for 26 years now but always with a compound. I've shot recurves for as long as I can remember but never hunted with one. Drawing out for the MCAAP hunt this year I've gotten much more serious and haven't enjoyed archery this much in a long time. The simplicity, well I just love it. I'm ready to sell the compound and start a self bow project LOL. maybe a bit to much gung ho?

Anyway, I've read a bunch on this site now for several months and finally registered this weekend so I could thank you guys for posting so much great info. I've learned a ton from just reading your stuff.

Good luck at MCAAP! I hunted in Deer Creek the last week of Oct. One of my group shot a hog and got a quality pass for next year. No deer shot in our group though. We ended up in a not so great area and by the time we found a good spot the hunt was almost over.

If possible look for a pinch point in the woods along a creek but do not worry about being close to a road or bunker. Those deer are comfortable anywhere on that base.

I've got a map of the hunt areas. If you want it let me know and I can email it to you. I've hunted Boggy one time and like Bisch I found a good spot too late. I didn't make the same mistake the following year in Hominy and shot a buck.

My brother will be there this weekend and I think he is in Boggy. This will be his 4th yr running because of quality tags but I am hearing that they are not giving any for does this year but only hogs.

What part of ok u from? I was in boggy this last weekend and found a pretty sweet spot with about fifty scrapes or so. I'm in Tulsa and it would be easier to show u on a map than type it

I'm in Enid but driving through Tulsa today on my way. Probably tough to meet on such short notice?

Serving is an honor, I hope to get after them with my selfbow when I get home.
