Nice Arcadia Lake buck arrowed by OKC hunter
Matt Allen of Oklahoma City took this 13-point buck at Arcadia Lake
The City of Edmond allows bowhunting only for white-tailed deer through December in 25 hunting zones around Arcadia Lake.
Arcadia Lake has produced some nice bucks in the past and on Saturday – Matt Allen of Oklahoma City – harvested this impressive 13-point, 180-pound buck.
“What a great hunt,” said Allen, a first-time bowhunter. “It all happened in less than probably three minutes. The whole time I was thinking, ‘Is this really happening?’
“I saw four deer (Saturday) morning before he popped up directly behind me and about 10 feet behind my stand. I was reaching for my bow and getting prepared while he was directly under me, then he walked a half-moon about 25 yards in front of me before finally stepping into about a 3-feet shooting lane.”
Hunts are still available at Arcadia Lake. Each week Arcadia Lake provides four day hunts, archery only, on the 25 units.
The hunts occur Thursday through Sunday. The fee is $50 per hunt. All hunters are required to attend a mandatory orientation session. For information, call 216-7470 or visit http://edmondok.com/parks/arcadialake/events

for the blog author:
compliments to support this cruel massacre!….
you must be love the nature and all the outdoors features…
instead i see a lot of egoistic love for the man power (a bow or anyone weapon don’t make up a real man!…)
at the expense for innocent animals…
that’so sad.
.from italy.

That is an aawsome buck. Congrats!!!
GreenPeace…….Get a life! If you choose not to hunt then that is your choice. Hunting prevents these great animals from suffering a much more painful death from such things as starvation and disease. We as hunters have a greater respect for gods creatures than you could ever gain!!!!
