I have never hunted Big oaks before so I though I would try it this year. My buddy got drawn for the Primitive Muzzle loader hunt. I tried calling at 7am and did not get through for a solid hour. Finally was able to get area 39 after about 5 other choices. Has anyone hunted area 39 and be willing to give me any good info on this area? I would really appreciate it. You can PM if you want.
Thanks in advance.

I hunted it two years ago. There is a road that runs down the west perimeter. Good access from there. We saw one buck on day one when the wind was at 20 mph+ and raining/sleeting. No shot. Next day the weather was great and we saw nothing.
Hunting technique was basic. Find some ground cover and sit for the day. Didn't use climbers. That may have been the problem. As I recall it is a square mile so plenty of ground for stalking. We stayed on the west side.
The terrain is flat and the woods are thick

Are there some good trees in there to be able to use a climber? |

There is a 2 track between 38 and 39 that doesn't go all the way through. About half way up it and then in there is an oak stand about 150 yards in that is where I killed my first antlered deer. I hunt 39 about every time that I get drawn.

Last time I was on it there was a lot of limbs hanging out. I wouldn't drive a nice truck if I were going there.

Closest I’ve been was 33, along the creek. Lots of sign in the area but didn’t see anything on stand. Big deer up there. Climb high and sit tight. Good luck
