Pushmataha WMA Info needed for youth hunt

ryan you do know some people have setup lease hunting around honobia. last i heard it was going for around 700 per gun.my uncle and cousins paid for a lease about three years ago and said they wouldn't do it again.they took over about everything north of honobia and back east all the way to clayton.

Thanks alot Deerslayer. I have been fly fishing in Montana for the past week, so I just now saw your post. I will be giving him a call in just a little bit.

anywhere on the refuge is pretty good. most try to hunt in the bottoms there seems to be so pretty nice deer down there.like deerslayer said talk to jack he is a good guy.we're going to do some archery hunting there this year when they open it to the public.i used to now my way around it real well but since i moved from albion i haven't hunted it in years.

When does it open to the public? Last I read it was draw only. Would love to take my new bow down there this year. I live about an hour away so it'd be alot better than hunting Quachita or Wister WMA's.

Bummer. At least I have the whole damn Quachita National Forest to shoot rifle in just a few miles away.
