There are 6 of us on a 640 acre lease East of Hallet OK. The plot consists of about 1/2 grass graze for cattle and 1/2 timber to include a load of that scourge to mankind, the evergreen. Last year we saw over 40 deer on this property including one large 10 point buck and a nice 8 pointer. We harvested 6, including one buck. This year we collectively have seen 6 does and that was during bow season in October. This last weekend, the opener for gun season, we all hunted very hard and did not see one single animal. We interviewed the hunters on the mile north and also the mile west of us and they had not seen any either. We know that there has been a poaching problem in the area but this is beyond reason. In over 25 years of hunting, this is the most desolate area of great habitat I've seen. There are plenty of acorns, though mostly gone now, plenty of water and some persimmons. We have two 55 gallon feeders out and they have not been visited by anything other than crows in the 3 months that they have been spewing corn. I'd would like the thoughts from some of you other hunters out there. My group is experienced and are all stymied with this problem. Thanks in advance for any theories you may have.
