always both available and affordable.

hunting. Whether you hunt on a lease, your own land or or one of Oklahoma's many

Oklahoma hunters. However, a select few are lucky enough to 'draw out' for one
of Oklahoma's Special Hunts for Elk or even Antelope!

Finding Deer Hunting Spots Around OklahomaA good trick for finding places to deer hunt in Oklahoma is to look at maps of nearby wildlife management areas around big lakes and identify tracts that are close to water but far from roads, or that are virtually landlocked between private property and a lake or river. Those are generally the areas that get hunted the least of all our public lands. They are often visited more by duck hunters than by deer hunters. A small kayak or john boat might be your key to the secret deer hunting camp you and your buddies have been dreaming of. The ODWC manages and maintains 64 areas through direct ownership by the ODWC and through license agreements with other agencies or entities. Named Wildlife Management Areas or WMAs, these areas provide valuable public access for hunting and various other uses. Oklahoma Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) and Other Public Hunting Lands.

Feral Hog HuntingFeral hogs (Sus scrofa), which are wild swine from domestic ancestry, belong to the family Suidae. A hog-like animal, the javelina is native to the southwest U.S. However, the feral hog is a different species, genus and family from the javelina which belongs to the family Tayassuidae. Many hunters think the feral hog is a formidable trophy worthy of payment for hunting privileges. Feral hogs provide excellent meat and are a challenging game species to pursue with weapon or dog.
