McAlester AAP draw announcement

Joe Clark · July 19, 2007, 10:58:00 AM

Results are out today. My friends and I drew Boggy for October 19-21. We haven't hunted that area before, it's 11,360 acres. If anybody has any thoughts on Boggy let me know.

If any other tradgangers are going to be there that same weekend let us know and maybe we can all hook up for a meal etc.

I'll be there the 1st weekend in November! !st time to draw Boggy, but Deer Creek has been good to me in the past!

Congratulations! I didn't draw out for anything this year. I've been in Hominy & Deer Creek, but never in Boggy. Hope you kill a big'un!

Hey Kwikstik! Howdy from Iraq!

Is Hominy a good area on the AAP? I drew hunt 342 Hominy 10/5/07 - 10/7/07 and it says Hominy. Any pointers for the early season besides bring the "skeeter scooter"? aka thermacell. What is the treestand vs blind situation? I'd think stands might be more effective?

Yes Deer Creek has been very good to you Justin judging by your pic

. Boggey sounds like a few monsters may be runnin around in there though. Happy for ya Bud and everyone else. Look forward to some good stories this fall.

Hey Razor, sent you pm. Hope you're back in time for the McAlester shoot Aug. 4-5 I think.

Can anyone point me to the right area on the ODWC digital map? I want to look for natural funnels , distance from road, etc... I need the boundries if possible.

The foliage should be thick due to all the rain we've had there. Skeeters should taking off and landing on the roads! LOL!

I'm really excited about hunting there this fall!

Jim,
Lat 34 48 40.02
Lon 95 58 13.26

This will put you approximately at the intersection of Road C and Road 6. Road C runs the entire East boundary of Hominy and Road 6 runs East and West and basically splits Hominy.

Road C is a main road and one that lots of hunters will come down to enter their areas.

The way this hunt works is you have to team up with a group of folks that want to hunt in your area or as close as you can get. Then you ride in with that group you park the truck and it doesn't move till the end of the day. You must walk to your stand location from the truck. You can get dropped off on the way in if your stand is a good distance from where your parking but if you want leave stuff in the truck etc. you will have to walk back to it for lunch etc. Sounds worse than it is but this hunt is strictly regulated and you do not get to roam all over MCAAP.

Road 6 runs East and West, Road C runs North and South.

There was some discussion last year about letting trucks come back to camp at lunch. My group didn't pay much attention since we had decided to stay the entire day.

I'll be in Hominy this year. I've never been in that area.

I can provide a hunting map if anyone needs it. I just need your email address.

Joe Clark · July 26, 2007, 02:28:00 PM

I hunted Hominy first time we got drawn. Saw tons of deer. Watched bucks fight from my stand etc. Several in our group including myself watched a big 150 class ten point couple days in a row. He knew the middle of a field was a safe spot. I did have him come within 30 yards of my tree and stand broadside in the wide open but that is just longer than I am willing to shoot. You know when the shot feels right and it didn't then but boy was he awesome to watch.

yth-mnstr · July 26, 2007, 05:17:00 PM

razor sharp, i heard the persimmon(sp) trees are the place to be for the early season.
