Hunting focus

Oklahoma firearm season opens in a couple days — ~100,000 deer harvested/year statewide to manage the herd. Unified voice across bow/gun/muzzleloader/crossbow. Grand River chain (Grand, Hudson, Fort Gibson) plus tributaries Eucha and Spavinaw with public hunting — check GRDA vs city of Tulsa vs Corps/ODWC regs; they differ. Expect strong harvest; Saturday opener: light winds, high pressure, low humidity; Sunday windier. Season ~16 days (two weeks + three weekends); pressure drops after Thanksgiving weekend. Some public areas archery-only even during firearms — check. Forced-exposure funnels between woodlots / powerlines / hedgerows for sit hunters. Bucks still chasing through November into secondary rut late archery. Missouri hunt good last weekend. Non-resident tags up sharply (~$500/tag + ~$200 license cited by Mississippi friends hunting LeFlore County / Smithville). Wear orange vest + hat (Jeff likes orange gloves too).

Fishing

Light this week — hunting dominated the report.
