There are a few public areas in Oklahoma to hunt dove and a few paid outfitters. I would try the public areas first. I don't personally know any rural landowners or hunters here. I would have to take the on-my-own approach. One of the dove outfitters requires a two-hunter minimum but I have no partner. I read at this source :

that Ok dove hunting can be iffy because of the crappy climate here. August rains sometimes
rain on local dove hunters' parades, so to speak. I don't care to spend money and time to travel to Argentina. I want to learn to hunt on my own American soil nearest to my hometown as possible. Texas is next door to Oklahoma and is a hunting haven for many. I consistently have read that pre-season scouting is the key to success. Oklahoma weather is fickle so Sooner State hunting can be a crap-shoot from one season to the next. I do know that mourning doves are now cooing like crazy all over my Lawton neighborhood now.
I live in SW Ok so these I will check into:
In
Southwest Oklahoma (my neck of Sooner woods) the following are open to the public:
1, Hackberry Flat — Oklahoma's premier dove shoot. On good years, it's crammed with doves and dove hunters (many people, EEEK!).
2, Mountain Park — Near Snyder, contains
native sunflower fields and managed agricultural fields.
(sounds promising)
3, Sandy Sanders — Watering holes and crop fields normally provide good dove hunting,
but habitat problems this year has opening day looking iffy (HUMMMM.....).
4, Waurika — Runs
hot and cold. Agricultural fields on west side provide the best hunting.
(GOOD when that area is running hot)
