Looking for general information on some public land in Oklahoma. If some one is familiar with the central or eastern public land areas in the state I would be grateful to hear some feedback via pm. Or just general information on here about deer populations, density and public land pressure. Wanting to plan a hunt and just see a different place and find a little different experience. I have a couple wma's in mind and would like to ask some questions if any one is willing to help! Will trade some Kentucky public knowledge if anyone is interested.

I’ve done some scouting at Arbuckle Springs WMA 2 years ago when I had a small lease in the area. Looks like a really cool spot with some really rugged areas and rolling terrain. Never got a chance to hunt there but looked promising and saw some turkeys and deer while walking around.

I’m in NE OK and would be willing to answer some questions. I’ve hunted several different WMA’s on the eastern side of the state

I'm going to follow. I've been really E-Scouting Hulah Corps. ground, just debating what weekend to go. I hate rifle hunting and I might leave Missouri hear during the opener of their rifle just to go hunt OK for a weekend.

I participated in one of the controlled deer hunts at Atoka WMA last year and would be happy to share info on the area or the hunt if you would like.

Better get your tags and license before July 1st. NR tags are skyrocketing in price after July 1st 202irst time in 20 years they are raising the out of state fees.
Yes they are. First time in 20 years they are raising out of state fees. The state legislators (who have to approve the increase) could care less since they appropriate zero money to the wildlife department.

I’m sure the residents are going to like it, gona cost $710 now for tag and license, I could go on a whole week trip for $700 (tag, fuel, & food) before. No more Oklahoma hunting for me I guess
