Good morning TBHers. I just got an e-mail from Oklahoma saying my draw hunt application for elk was successful, so it looks like I'll be going up there in December. I was wondering if anyone here had the opportunity to do the same in the past and if so do you have any advice on what to expect with the with this hunt? Thanks.

Congrats! I was unsuccessful in the draw this year and I have not hunted there although Wichita Mountains is one of my favorite places in this part of the country and I've been up there a bunch of times to go hiking and seen quite a few elk roaming around. Some good videos on YouTube that I've watched on the elk hunts up there. Good luck.

I drew the cow elk hunt tag a few years ago. Didn't have any luck as the cows were all grouped up and if you found one you found most all of them in that area. Bulls on the other hand I found tons of them. Saw a bull the first day easily over 400" and several others during the hunt that were in the 300" range. I struck out on getting a cow but I put 2 guys on their bulls in the first 15 minutes of daylight on the second day of the hunt. Are you doing the walk in hunt or the ones they drive you out too?

You doing Rifle in December? Are you hunting in the park?
Good luck, elevation is no where like Colorado but it is extremely rocky and not easy climb or pack out.

Meaning you walk in and pack out on foot. You can bring a helper. If you drew the regular hunt they take you out in the field and help you get your elk out. The ride out is very rough. They load everyone up in the bed of the truck and drop you off at your the spot you choose to be dropped off in which ever segment you draw. Prepared to be bounced all over the place. The hunts are held in the area of the refuge closed to the public. Also the hunts there as you stated are once in a lifetime hunts.

Abe with the Stormwater Creek podcast got a cow in the Wichita Mountains draw last year. You might reach out to him on Instagram. @stormwatercreek
