I didn't score at Caddo NGL...saw a mama and her twin fawns (@30lbs each). Did have my USFS doe permit (came today) so I didn't take anything, they were the only 3 deer I saw all day Saturday.

Good luck Chris...both my oldest son (Air Force) and I put in for doe permits for Caddo National Grasslands, for the second time he got one and the ole' man didn't but that's okay with me at least we'll be out there hunting together for the first time in many years....hope everybody gets the deer of their dreams this year.

Bob,

No food plots around the grasslands and it's hard to find neighboring property that has anything of interest to the deer planted either. Ohio, oh yeah, now you're talking, love those big deer.  I had went back to Pennsylvania the second week in October, rained everyday and didn't see many deer. Saw a black bear, a bobcat, more squirrels and chipmunks then you can shake a stick at...2 huge flock of turkeys...but only had two doe feeding in but wouldn't come out from behind the trees at 28 yards. Was good to go back to the old home state, hadn't hunted there in 4 years. Oklahoma sounds like a winner for ya....I wish you luck.  If I make plans to go to Caddo in December I'll let ya know and maybe we can hook up for a hunt.

Sorry I didn't see you at Aquilla Marvin.  My buddy and I were there all weekend. On Saturday he missed a big doe with his ML then in the evening around 5:10pm he had a huge buck come in, somehow he managed to miss him too. At 10:00am Sunday morning I did a slow walking one man drive to him and this time he connected on a running (double lung) doe at about 50 yards. That .50 cal PowerBelt 295 grain slug went completely through, she went about 40 yards and piled up...if you could have seen the blood trail you'd have thought somebody went through the woods and had dumped a bucket of paint. All told he had seen 9 deer in less then 2 days, I saw one but couldn't get a clear shot. May be going back out there next weekend if the temp will drop even a few degrees.
