Ron is correct. I was told the same thing by the Warden at Spavinaw. However, I was told it was a done deal. We dont want to lose such a mass of hunting land!

You can hunt the corp land in chicken creek but you have to walk where ever you go, The land on the mountin is least by some people from Texas, I was there when the father got lost, while hunting. I know every little thing about buck horn and have taken some nice deer from there.

Hi Don, As you can see i grew up in Chicken creek for 26 years of my life, Iv done every thing from trap, fish and hunt there, Some of the best places i hunted was on the back side of the buck horn MT, but i think now that it has some houses,

Cookson WMA is nice with some big deer, I drew out there in 1982, one of the very first draw hunts. Good luck and send me a photo of that big boy.

Hi Lawrence and welcome to Oklahoma.

If I remember correctly, Hinton Oklahoma is just West of Oklahoma City.

That’s a tough area to find good Public Land. However, I believe Fort Cobb is just down the road. They have decent deer hunting opportunities.

According to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife, Fort Cobb has the same deer hunting Season as the rest of the State except Deer gun which is only open the first 9 days. Also, it looks like you can only use a Shotgun.

Pick up a copy of the regulations and double check this before heading out. You can find a copy at nearly any Wal-Mart.

Don’t forget the Holiday Antlerless Deer Hunts! This could be just the ticket for your Daughter.

If you’re looking for some Private land, you might have a tough time finding it, especially this late in the year.

You should start by asking friends and family who live in the area. Next, try visiting the local feed stores and ask the people there if they know of anyone who would let a Father and Daughter hunt on their land. It wouldn’t hurt to offer them something in return.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Don

I just got into hunting this last year and have a foodplot (with a 150 class 11 point near it) and several areas to hunt near my home, but I have spent several months scouting and hunting McGee creek last year and plan on spending several more months there this year. You are definately right about the terrain and the Food Plots being crowded, but I have had all my success near the public huntingland roads. I have already seen 3 NICE bucks, but I shoot recurve and they were usually an average of 50-60 yards out. I am really hoping to set up a little better and get one in definate range this year. Thank you for your information on other public hunting lands. I am only 19 and in college and it is hard to travel all the way to McGee Creek, but its the only one I have ever hunted.
