My son got drawn twice for the Alfalfa County youth hunt. Landowners were really nice, and ODWC people were too. Had wild-game chili for everyone both years, pretty nice after sitting in a blind in the cold. Very gracious folks.
I'm familiar with a lot of the ranches in this area, but have not heard of this hunt. We have some new ranch owners that have bought the ones I used to work for.
The Nature Conservency bought the old Chapman Barnard ranch to build the Tall Grass Prarie Preserve, Ted Turner bought 45000 acres next to it to introduce the black footed ferret back into the mix, but I haven't heard how that has turned out.
The Mormon Church has bought around 60000 acres in Osage County 20 years ago. They do have deer hunts on this property, but don't know if the youth hunt is on it.
They have had youth hunts on the Western Wall WMA in the past with great results.
Thats about the extent my info at this time.
I'm sure the odds of being drawn has gone up this year. Anyone know how we will be notified and when if our kids get lucky enough to be drawn?
You will be notified via mail I believe.
When will they draw and send out the notifications.
