Hi everyone,
I recently graduated from OU and took a job teaching in Norman. I am originally from Colorado, where I have hunted both big game (elk, mule deer, and pronghorn) and small (ducks, geese, coyotes etc.) While in college, I did a little duck hunting in OK, mostly around Norman and a little out west, but really just went along with some college friends.
Now that I am more established in Oklahoma and have a bit more money, I have decided I want to try my luck at whitetail hunting, as well as archery. I have never owned a bow, but I just bought one and have been shooting 60+ arrows a day in hopes of getting out into the whitetail woods this fall. I have done a bunch of e-scouting, but I am struggling with finding specific areas to go and what I should be looking for in those areas. I have no experience hunting whitetails or tree stands, but I would like to purchase a saddle soon so I have the mobility to try a bunch of spots.
Let me be clear, I am not asking for anyone's honey hole or dynamite spot, just a newbie looking for any advice or tips to bag my first whitetail (doe or buck) and fill the freezer. If anyone would be willing to share some info on e-scouting, WMAs, or just point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. Feel free to pm me too, I would love to ask some more specific questions if people are willing to answer!
Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone this fall!
