htaccess Remove Query String on Redirect

I've researched this for awhile now and swear my solution should work according to the following (and hundreds of others here so forgive my duplication):

Example 1 Example 2

I need to remove the query string from a redirect. Old WordPress ?p=### to a new domain/url.

Old Url: blog.domain.com/blog/?p=123
New Url: www.domain.com/yada/woohoo/

With this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=123$
RewriteRule ^/blog/$ http://www.domain.com/yada/woohoo/?  [L,R=301]

I get: http://www.domain.com/yada/woohoo/?p=123

I want: http://www.domain.com/yada/woohoo/

blog.domain.com will be redirected at the DNS level.

What am I missing? The "?" at the end of the rewrite line should remove the query string?

I just tried your code, the only thing i changed was the first / in blog, and i got it working perfectly, without the querystring
If you're running Apache > 2.4 then you can use the flag QSD, but otherwise, with the ? at the end it works. Is there any other rules there?

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^p=123$
RewriteRule ^blog/$ http://www.domain.com/yada/woohoo/?  [L,R=301]
