Kerr WMA buck
Posted: Sat Dec 05, 2009 10:33 pm
I spent last week hunting the Kerr Wildlife Management Area. It was cold and wet, with a good dusting of snow Friday morning to round it out. We had the intelligence 
to go cheap and stay at the Mo Ranch campground in a cabin, and the only thing is that the cabins are all screened in on one side so you can't hold any heat. So, we were only warm in bed at night and in the truck for the 10 minute drive to the hunt area. It was still better than being in the office! My hunt buddy scored a 200ish lb boar the first evening, and I scored this 130 gross, 19" inside spread buck Thursday evening.
There were a lot of nice bucks killed over the 4 days there. The staff were first rate all the way. The hunt is tough, no feeders to get the game on a routine, 4 previous hunts to get them wary, you take the unit they give you, and there is no real chance to scout until the hunt is under way. Even though it is high fenced, there is no supplemental feeding or such, and the only real game management is through harvest restrictions and the high fence.
All in all, a COLD week with an OUTSTANDING end result! I'm sure the memories of the cold will fade fast but the buck will hang on my wall with a place of honor.
