Sometimes the Deck is Stacked Against You.
Although we were fortunate enough to get drawn into the McAlester Ammunition Depot Draw Hunt and fortunate enough to be drawn into one of the best weeks and fortunate enough to be drawn into one of our favorite areas, Hominy; it just wasn't meant to be.
It started off simple enough, great drive with great friends to McAlester, set up in some decent lodging and checked in easily enough, we could see trouble brewing during the afternoon scouting and stand set up session. It was warm, very warm. We also knew the moon was working against us, we were still hopeful.
Primed and ready we settled in for a great dinner at Chili's and some early shut eye. Morning rolls around early and we knew there was trouble as the temperatures were already in the high fifties to low sixties. Temperatures rose upwards that first day into the high eighties. With a full moon and temperatures approaching the nineties, needless to say deer movement was almost nil. Although there was limited to no deer movement during shooting hours, the experience was awesome and spending time with great friends was priceless.
Next time we get drawn it will be hammer time.
Special thanks to Jeff Steele at Arrowhead Archery who stepped up and let me borrow his recurve when I had a problem with mine. They are great folks with excellent gear, go by and see them if you are needing a bow or archery supplies.
