[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 3131912, member: 796"] "I read, once drawn it’s a 13% chance to harvest a deer but when you get one they are absolute monsters and could easily go Pope & Young scored." Well, that may be a bit optimistic. If I recall, the managed herd is a bit over 2000 deer, trying for half bucks, with around 100 oldsters with BIG racks. Back when Starry was there, I did three annual hunts after I retired from USAF, shooting a doe on the last day each time. My preferred deer to eat is a dry doe, and I saw no point in shooting the medium buck that got close enough for a sure shot. I spent one afternoon watching what was probably P&Y buck near to a small hidden wheat field checking out the dozen or so does, but he never got closer to me than 60 yds. My favorite year was hunting a bumper acorn crop in Hominy. Find the acorns, find the deer. [/QUOTE]
