Results are up for the military/refuge hunts. I drew Big Oaks on 11/1 as did a buddy of mine. Dad drew the primitive muzzle loader hunt on 10/17-10/18 and firearm hunt 11/21-11-22 @ Big Oaks. How'd you guys do?

Big Oaks on 11/21-22 for firearms and 10/25 for archery. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but I'll take it!

I just noticed they raised the hunt permit at Big Oaks to $20 this year as well. Didn't want anyone to walk in with the normal $5 fee and fine out it had been changed.

Woooooo0hooooooo!
I finally got drawn for two hunts at Big Oaks, the firearm 11/14 and 15, and the primative 10/17&18.
What does primative mean for this hunt? ...pointy sticks and clubs?

Big Oaks Primitive Muzzleloader Definition: (a) Fire black powder or black powder substitute. (b) Have a traditional, external side-hammer design. (c) Be capable of being loaded only from the muzzle. (d) Have a caliber of at least .45. (e) Be loaded with a bullet at least four hundred forty-thousandths (.440) of an inch diameter. (f) Have an ignition system that is flintlock or caplock. (g) Use a lead round ball or lead conical bullet without plastic or other sabot. (h) Have traditional-style open sights (fixed or adjustable v-notched rear sight, buckhorn rear sight, metallic rear peep sight, and post or blade front sight). (i) Not have telescopic or other sights that incorporate glass or electronics. |

Congrats Jon. If you need any advice on that place, there's plenty of us who have hunted it. Just hit us up.

It was $10, so the jump is a little less. |

The regs are available to print off if you click on your results.. it says you can either use a state license, or buy a military refuge license if you want your deer to be in addition to your state bag limits. I have a Hawken you can borrow for the primitive hunt if you need one. We'll have to meet up on the 14/15 hunt date.. |

I have to say, I'm a little nervous about this primitive hunt. I'm not sure why I signed up for that one. I'll look at that page, but if it's written like the hunting rules, I bet I have a hard time interpreting the information. Sometimes I just want a yes or no answer. Do you live out that way, or did you get a draw too? Do partners get to hunt too? At Crane they don't. I went out that way with Saltydog once, but I didn't see Big Oaks. It's nice out there. |

Jon, Partners hunt and you have to have a partner. Can't go it alone there. Also there is a twenty min safety briefing you have to go through every year.
