Okbwhtr Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Last year, Oklahoma bowhunters set a new archery season harvest record by taking 17,784 deer, helping to push the annual combined season deer harvest to the second highest level in state history. Sportsmen checked in a total of 111,427 deer overall, a 16 percent increase over the previous year and only 7,922 deer shy of the state's all-time annual harvest record of 119,349 deer in 2006. According to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's recently published “Big Game Report” — available now in the Sept/Oct issue of Outdoor Oklahoma magazine — an estimated 83,335 hunters participated in archery season last year. Jerry Shaw, big game biologist for the Wildlife Department, says that high number could be the result of the added challenge and extra time in the woods that the archery season offers.

SpcNape Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I sure hope I can help bump the record up. Like Hutchies, I set a personal record last year. I have been seeing more deer than in a few years previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swore I saw bear sign, but I didn't think bears were in Oklahoma. Thats pretty cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
