Big Oaks hunts are IMO a joke...supposed to be about harvesting deer, yet it is mainly viewed at by many as a big buck hunt.... Ty, they went through a reduction phase about 10 years ago. Really put the hurting on the deer and got the herd under control. Joe Robb had a phrase "shoot a doe for Joe" and they also instituted you had to check an antlerless in to get a 2nd buck tag. This got the herd down and fast. One year I believe they had 800 plus deer killed. Now they average 300 or so. Now its a HUNT involving a much healthier herd and environment. The big thing about down there is the unknown and the possibility of a giant walking out. Ive seen some and killed 2 very nice bucks. Now you better consider yourself fortunate if you see much less harvest deer.
