I know the oak mountain hunt was managed previously by folks outside of the dept of conservation and transitioned to a SOA this year. Question is was it hunted the past couple of years? A quick google search confirms they did have bow hunts in 2015/16 but I can’t find info on anything since then. Thanks. Yes it was

What was the “arrangement” over the past few years? It’s been basically a season long membership for years. You had to go to the BHA and jump through a bunch of hoops, then have a spot open up. Seems like if you didn’t kill enough deer, they removed you and put someone else in your spot the next year.

I'm really curious if the population is still real high like it used to be. Probably need to go look at dark/daylight I suppose.

i don't think the park will be open to visitors during the hunt that is what the 40$ is for per hunter to offset the park being closed. It was closed in the earler draw hunts there years ago So they’re closing the whole park for ten hunters each hunt? Don’t think that’s right.

there will not be many visitors during december to the park. The problem I see with hunting oak mtn is the woods are so open you can see hundreds of yards from everywhere. My understanding is the guys who used to be successful in the bow hunting thing out there increased their chances with additives to bring the deer closer to their stands. I have been to oak mountain hundreds of times during the winter in the last few years and we rarely see deer driving through or walking around. I have never seen a good buck out there. I would say surrounding neighborhoods would have better hunting.
