Congrats on getting drawn. Is this a buck only SOA draw? I’ve camped at Oak Mountain a few times and it’s covered up with deer, not sure the best way to find mature deer among the large amounts of does and other deer. What time of year is your hunt?I got drawn for an archery only hunt in an Alabama State Park late November. Here is the map of it. I have 3 1/2 days to hunt. I live 2.5 hours away so dont have much time to scout. Any ideas on where the best place to find a mature buck?

1 buck 3 does. November 29Congrats on getting drawn. Is this a buck only SOA draw? I’ve camped at Oak Mountain a few times and it’s covered up with deer, not sure the best way to find mature deer among the large amounts of does and other deer. What time of year is your hunt?
Here’s a local guy that got to hunt it last year. I can’t remember if they had any luck but I want to say they saw some good deer.
I have a friend that is going some. Dont know if i can bring a different person on a day he cant go but if i can ill let you know.@CooterBrown ill go scout it for you if you want to bring me along
So I just got a response by email. I can have different guest per day. But only one per day. Ill just have to let you know when if any days are available at a latter date.@CooterBrown ill go scout it for you if you want to bring me along
What’s your scouting date? Have they told you yet? If I’m free I’d be happy to look at whatever spots you’re interested in and try and get some intel.So I just got a response by email.

They dont give dates. The only stipulation is after November 1st you can only scout on the weekends. Before that its anytime.What’s your scouting date? Have they told you yet? If I’m free I’d be happy to look at whatever spots you’re interested in and try and get some intel.
Ok the SOA I did was not a park so they had specific scouting days.They dont give dates. The only stipulation is after November 1st you can only scout on the weekends. Before that its anytime.
After november 1st you can only scout on the weekendsMore I look at it the more I like it. You've got a creek going from the lake to some ag fields across that road. A campground too. Deer love campgrounds.
You should scout it. I got a canoe if you need it. If it's just a state park then nothing to say you can't be on it whenever I'm guessing. I'd be up there this weekend if it was my hunt.
Last week of novemberI'd focus on the crossings and saddles. Great areas to catch cruising deer. What time of year is it? If its hot get between bedding and water.
I have a canoe but thanks for the offer.More I look at it the more I like it. You've got a creek going from the lake to some ag fields across that road. A campground too. Deer love campgrounds.
