Hoping to get out to my place in eastern Choctaw county in the next couple of weekends. Need to prep some new areas for small kill plots, get some access trails trimmed up, and some trees prepped for saddle hunting. Ready to get some cams out too!

Saddles!? Come on guys that sounds miserable. I find my millenniums uncomfortable after 3/4 hours can’t imagine hanging off side of tree in a crotch harness for more than 30 mins. Not dogging you guys but with the right wind you can hunt in a **** elm 5’ off the ground

For sets that are permanent a hang on is great. It's one of them things that you cant knock it till you try it. I was in that same boat and ended up liking it. Way more comfortable than a treestand IMO because I stand up 90% of my hunts anyway.

I haven't ever sat in one. Until I purchased my place in Choctaw I was a public land guy and I have missed being mobile, and more aggressive. I feel I can get super light weight on a mobile setup and sneak in on bedding areas easier than trying to hang stands in them. We will see how I like it.

Count me in I’m guessing scoring wins, gross I hope. Nets are for fishing.

I guess I need to join in on this thread. We bought a little 14 acre tract up in Latimer County on Panola Mtn earlier this year. I plan on doing a little bow hunting on it. My son and I were late getting up there and didn't get the feeder and cameras set up until early June. I plan on going back up in a few weeks to check cards to see what's roaming those hills. Looking forward to this season...

2020 Pushmataha county/SE Oklahoma
So I’ve been thinking about hunting in SE OK. Any deer up there? [emoji12]
It’s been a while. 2 years of grad school followed by the purchase of our place in Haskell county kept our Push County sightings to a minimum. This fall we (me, son, and daughter) will be back doing damage!
Me and the boy recently got his hanging feeder back in shape and put out some mineral. Despite having it 15’ in the air and at least that far from the nearest climbable pine tree, the bears managed to do some damage. We are all good now.
Just got some cameras back out so hopefully the contenders will make appearances soon.
Been on our place for 23 years now and have loggers reshaping the landscape as we speak. Areas that I knew like the back of my hand changed overnight and are continuing to change. I visited with the company man and tried to shape the cut line nearest my favorite stand to benefit us but we will see. My hope is that these boys get done quickly and move on!
Looking forward to a good season.Last edited by Booner Sooner; 07-22-2020, 09:30 PM.

Not sure how much of a ratio of clear cut vs standing timber you have but my experience with clear cuts are that the second year after harvest they are a bonanza of food and a super magnet for the deer. On our place, once an area is cut I concentrate my scouting on the nearest bedding and travel corridors. Finding staging areas within the existing cover leading to the new clear cuts and hunting those have been a winner for me!
On another note, there is little that is more disorienting to me that having an area that you’ve muted for 20 years cut like crazy and then walking out of your new set at night. [emoji3166]
