I bet ya that you put out the feed & maybe a food plot & those bucks will be all over you. They probably haven't had feed at there leisure so they are travelling to a food source. Just an idea though, not telling you what to do by any means.

I think you are about right. The most pre-rut activity I’ve seen in the mountains of Push county is the last 10 days of October to the first week to 10 days of November....give or take a few days. That chase phase is magical.

Okay , so here are few pictures of a good buck that were taken around Christmas time last year. Photos came off the trail camera the other hunters never returned for. How old do you guys think he is? I was thinking a 4 1/2 yr old as of last year in the photos. I was thinking he would make a nice shooter this year and hoping to get a few photos of him on the trial cameras.
Also here is the pic of the bear on 8/22 ... glad he isn't around anymore but man he looks huge to me. Is this typical size for the area or would this be considered a trophy bear?

Just made it back from setting up camp and scouting, we’re located on the very western edge of Honobia WMA a couple miles north of Cloudy and the pigs have showed up big time this year. The few guys we’re friendly with that camp just north of us shared a picture of a large black bear with two cubs still hanging around at the beginning of September. In my experience there that’s quite odd this far west and close to town but I know they’d show up eventually. Apart from that, the woods are probably more torn up with scrapes and rubs, two mature bucks on camera, just moved two more cameras to post and white oak flats that are loaded with acorns. Very excited for muzzleloader season! Wish everyone luck and more importantly safety!

I got up there Wednesday afternoon in time for the evening hunt. Saw deer all but 1 sit thanks to the Indian horses for eating all the rice bran and mineral at that stand location. Actually spooked them off of it the second morning. Got busted by a doe and twins at less than 10 yards one sit and had deer within 20 yards 2 other sits but they would give me a clear shot, just watched them through the brush. Took a shot at a hog Thursday evening but the arrow hit a branch I didn't see in the peep and went just over his back. Friday evening I got a 2 1/2 year old 8 point inside 15 yards and double lunged him quartering towards me. Then the real adventure began... Lets just say a call to the Game Warden to get a good wrecker driver as my truck decided to leave me stranded in the boonies until Whakm got there. The people at Kiamichi Tire are top notch honest, thanks to Warden Eric Barnes for that recommendation. Wife got a rental truck and came up Saturday morning to get me and all my camping gear along with the quartered up deer, thanks to Whakm for the help with that. My wife will be dropping the deer at CCR when she gets off work today as I am working a 12. Should get up to Antlers to retrieve my truck later this week. I will say I am glad I spent the money on a cell phone booster this past year, it allowed me to have enough cell service to make phone calls and texts where I normally have no service.

The mountains kicked my butt this weekend. To start out Friday morning Get 3 miles from camp and have front end problems on my ranger. Got it rigged up and limped back to camp.
Head from clayton to antlers to get parts from the Polaris dealer and my truck throws the belt on 271. Had a local stop and give me a ride to kiamichi tire services and got a tow back. Couldn't find any issues so we put a belt on (this kicked out butt for 2 hours). That's when we determined a idler pulley needed replacing, no parts in town so had to get it in the morning.
Saturday morning skip the hunt to repair ranger, thankfully we camp at a local guys property so we pulled it in his shop and made short work of the repair with his air tools. Got the call truck was ready so got it picked up. Cant say enough about kiamichi tire services they did me a solid and the prices weren't bad for a emergency.
Finally got to hunt Saturday evening and Sunday morning and got skunked both hunts. Just glad I made it home in one piece at this point.

Looking for advice from Oklahoma hunters
Guys
I joined a large Weyerhaeuser lease this summer to bowhunt. I've been running several cameras all summer and I'm still clueless on these Oklahoma deer. This lease is very large and of coarse primarily pine forest but it has several creeks with hardwoods.
Spot #1 that I was initially enthusiastic about is mostly hardwoods with some pines, a nearby river and several hundred acres of private hardwood border it. This area is huge and seems like a bowhunters dream. Although upon walking the area over I was struck by the lack of deer trails or much sign.
So I put out a few cameras and waited. Well I'm getting very few deer pics and have gone a week or so without a deer picture at times. Although I definitely had a nice shooter buck picture a couple of times. About a week ago I put out 3 gravity feeders but there are tons of acorns so no action yet, maybe that was a waste. Also I have put out rice bran and hand corned but I'm only getting mostly coons and a few pigs.
Spot #2 is more typical of what the lease consists of. It's kind of rocky, has some elevation change and is near mostly pines with a few post oaks. What attracted to this spot was the deer droppings along with a few deer trails and I also found a couple of decent sheds. I put out a few cameras and have gotten a few deer pictures but not many. At least no pigs so far!
I don't know if I need to move to a totally new area or hold tight. This is the 1st lease I've been on in ovee 10 years. I primarily bowhunt public land in Texas. I'm just used to seeing a lot more activity. Maybe the deer numbers are just less than I'm used to.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Oh yea those are some big bodied bucks once you cross the red!
Thanks
