Yeah theres alot of us on here. You definately have to apply for next years draw hunts.
You plan on doing any dove hunting, I cant wait im counting down the days.

Congrats on the new addition as well. I stil havent made it out to the range, my water pump is going out so I have to take care of that tomorrow. Its been so long since I have shot a 7mag. 12years actually, it was the first rifle I ever shot. I was 14, it thumped me pretty good.

Man, that did kinda burst my bubble. [&:] Oh well, I plan on going out of state to pursue an elk sometime in the future anyhow. That still won't keep me from applying for the hunt in Oklahoma, it would still be a hunt of a lifetime, gun or bow.

didnt send my money in trying to get a new job and just think ill have to work those days.got my prioritys family then fun.
shame to get drawn and have to turn it down .

Im sorry to hear that. Will you be able to apply for it in the future?

The way I understand it is its one draw and your done, whether or not you participate. As a guy that has put in for 10 yrs and not gotten drawn in, it had better be that way...sorry buck-i for being harsh.

It is a shame your not able to go, but being as they are now, one and done, Id find a way to go. a 800# cow elk in the freezer would feed a family for quite some time. Is it already too late to pay? I know there are different time schedules for different hunts.

it aint being harsh thats the way it is, one and done,i still will apply just in case i slide by.definately will miss the meat and the hunt its a great place to go. august 17 was the cut off i think.
oh well i wish ya'll the best.
time for doves aint it scouted the other day man those places at thunderbird are wet or under water.

just got off the phone with wildlife department paid my fee thought about it after last post better to waste fifty dollars and find a way to go then just say know and not try.
my knees are dirty

Thats awesome they let you pay it. I really hope you can make it out there, I cant wait.

Heck yeah dove season is getting really close. I jsut hope that last storm didnt run alot of them off. My wife is due to have our little girl oct 20th, and ill miss deer season so I told her not to plan on seeing me sept 1,2,or 3. I think we are going to head to mountain park on the 2nd and maybe up to black kettle on the 3rd. More than likely hit lexinton on the first since I have to work till 11pm on friday

buck, you mentioned you were looking for a new job....what is it you do? any special things? Didnt know if someone here could help look.
