OK muzzleloading season will open in late October. i'm ready for muzzleloader season. The deer population in southwestern OK is in very bad shape. We are a long drought. There is very little for game to eat except dead grass. i have several game cameras out: They show the deer to be very undernourished.

There will be no acorns or pecans this year. If we do not get rain soon many of those deer will not make it through the winter. i will not kill deer that are undernourished. We are doing what we can with the feeders and i've gotten in a ton of soybeans and some calf and mule sweet feed. Maybe we can help some deer survive.

We own a place in southeastern OK that has not been hurt by the drought. i'll most likely camp out there and hunt some in muzzleloader season.
