Mark Davis Tells About Doubling Down on Does

In Oklahoma, you legally can harvest five does any time you have the opportunity. Once I was hunting in the Deep Fork public hunting area during the first or second week in November, when the weather was very cold. I hiked 3 miles from my truck, got in early and climbed into my tree stand. I hadn’t really seen any bucks all morning, but there was a steady stream of does.

Oklahoma Whitetails on Public Lands

I hunt deer three or four different places here in Oklahoma. Most of the time I go to southeastern Oklahoma and hunt what we call the mountains. I also travel to the southern part of the state, to a place we call Sulphur Davis. I primarily hunt public lands, because it’s far-less expensive than hunting private lands. Public land has produced a tremendous number of deer for me over the years and some really-nice bucks.

Why Long Driveways and Expensive Houses Equal Big Bucks

I like to hunt for bucks with big antlers. Usually I will have one to three big bucks on my hit list every year.

Actually all I need to hunt deer is a small piece of property to hunt where I can see 40 yards or less.

Mike Monteleone Explains Other Places Bucks Bed

During early bow season in September and October, bucks have the same problem hunters have: bugs. Bucks often will bed on the tops of hills or mountains for two reasons. Generally the air will be cooler the higher they move-up a mountain, plus there may be a slight breeze. Both of these conditions help to keep bugs off the deer. However, generally, does, for some reason, tend to bed in low areas where there are

How to Pattern Bucks on Small Properties with ProStaffer Mike Monteleone

At any given time, I’ll have 10- to 15-different pieces of property to hunt. The properties I hunt primarily are small, from 8 to 400 acres. I put out Covert trail cameras that run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year, even on properties I’ve hunted for years. From my cameras, I’ve learned where to put up my tree stands, when to put them up and when to move
