Wow, some amazing bucks going down. Getting my blood pumping!

Nice job! I've hunted it a couple times and will definitely agree it's tough over there. Congrats on a great buck!

Great job! I love the shot footage.

He's a stellar buck! Regardless of score, congrats but I am also looking forward to hearing the "tale of the tape". Mass goes a LONG way, so I'll guess 114 gross 106 net.

Welcome to the site! What part of Oklahoma are you from? I grew up in Tahlequah and have/had family in Enid and down South by Temple/Hastings. Good luck on your hunt.

That's awesome - nicely done guys!

What a gorgeous bear - and HUGE! Great job and huge congrats. Digging the loop lever back there too!

Congrats to him on a stellar buck and HUGE kudos to you for helping it come together. What a great story! And +1 on the added points for carrying out with a stick! Been there haha.

Congrats guys - gotta love those youth hunts!

Hey guys, I've been on here a long time and rarely ask for any area-specific advice but I am headed to 13A in a few weeks and could use any information or suggestions you may have. I know the first thing a lot of folks will say is "get a guide". I have nothing against guides at all, it's just not something I'm planning to do. Of course, there's the "Go scout it" advice also but being nearly 12 hours away and all my time off from work committed to the hunt itself I probably won't get much scouting time before the hunt. That aside, I hunted 13B solo back in 2012 and killed a nice buck (I'll look for a link to the story), but I've only been to 13A once to help out a friend and was only there for the first couple days and didn't learn too much about the unit. I'm planning to camp on the S side of Mt. Trumbull and I've been studying the area on OnX marking water sources etc. My understanding is the rut should be going strong - the hunt starts Nov 15th - so in a way the deer could be just about anywhere. I'm mostly interested in getting away from the combat hunting that sometimes occurs up there, where everyone is focused on the same area and racing to beat everyone else to the punch. I'm in good shape and willing to hike but it looks like there are roads just about everywhere. Any tips or suggestions are much appreciated! Thanks in advance. Jason

Great job, congrats on a nice buck!

Thanks Jbone, I will definitely check that out,

Thanks for the shout-out, Shelvin and to those who have reached out, much appreciated!

That's awesome! Way to go guys!

Here's a link to the 13B story in case anyone is interested. Pretty fun going through old posts to find it.

Nice job! You've been killin' it, literally haha.Congrats.

Great job, Shelvin. Way to stick with it!

Stellar bull! Congrats on a great hunt!

Amazing photos, Doug. Your content is one of my favorite things about this site. Thanks for sharing.

I would guess more like 360s. Lots of length all around. Great find!

Congrats guys! Sounds like a great time!

Really nice goat, and a great write-up. I enjoyed the videos sprinkled in there - nice job, and congrats!!!

Congrats! You'll be hooked for life.

This will be fun! Good luck, guys.

Great looking buck! Huge congrats, man!
