Whacking and stacking
Oklahoma deer hunters were whacking ‘em and stacking ‘em over the weekend.
The opening weekend of the gun season may be a record for numbers and big deer. Hunter check stations across the state were reporting long lines, in some cases a wait of nearly two hours.
Lisa Mayberry, who operates Terry’s Taxidermy in Oklahoma City with her husband, said the opening weekend was nothing like they have ever seen before.
“Swamped,” she said of the weekend business. “It’s still like that today.”
Mayberry said they are on pace to have the busiest deer season ever. She also said she’s never seen more monster bucks.
The rut was apparently going strong over the weekend.
“All of the big daddys are going down. I can guarantee you that,” Mayberry said. “As far as horns, it’s probably the biggest crop I have ever seen.”
Mayberry said she doesn’t have a state record at her shop, but predicts somebody will before the season ends on Dec. 7.
“I can guarantee you there will be one (a record) this year,” she said.
