Good "Ol Oklahoma
Here is an e-mail I received...I thought it was pretty good:
The following list of rules applies to each person as they enter Oklahoma :
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Let's get this straight; it's called a "gravel road." I drive a pickup truck because I need to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
3. There are pigs, cattle & oil wells. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-40 goes east and west, I-35 goes north and south. Pick one.
4. So you have a $60,000 dollar car. We're impressed. We have quarter-million dollar air conditioned tractors. We drive them 3 weeks a year.
5. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly.
Try to understand the concept.
6. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of doves is coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You had better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.
7. Yeah, we eat catfish & crawdads. You really want sushi & caviar?
It's available at the corner bait shop.
8. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the 3rd Saturday of November.
9. We open doors for women. That is applied to everyone, regardless of age.
10. No, there's no "vegetarian special" on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.
11. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes:
meats,vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and Pace Picante Sauce.
12. You bring "coke" into my house, it better be brown, wet, served over ice. You bring "Mary Jane" into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
13. High School Football is as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.
14. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit the water hazards - it spooks the fish.
15. Colleges? Try O.U. or O.S.U. (By the way Yankees OSU does not mean Ohio State). They come outta there with an education, a love for God, country, and they still wave at passing pickups when they come home for the holidays.
16. We send more folks to the Navy, Army, Marines, & Air Force than any other state. "Don't Mess with Okla." If you do, it will get your butt kicked by the best.
17. When folks in Oklahoma talk about having a PhD they're talking about their Post Hole Digger.
18. Always remember what our great governor E.W. Marland once said:
"Oklahoma can make it without the United States, but the United States can't make it without Oklahoma .."

Not real sure how the hunting is down here in SE Oklahoma. I just moved here last December and haven't had a chance to hunt down here yet. I know there are some big deer in this area, from what people tell me. There is a ton of public land in SE Oklahoma, but I heard it is a crazy place around ML and Rifle seasons. If I were you, I would hunt only with bow on the public land, or go way back in the sticks where no one wants to go during rifle.
As for liscense's, all you have to do is buy an out of stateliscense and a tag. No drawing required unless you want to draw in for a special hunt on the game reserves. I have put in for a trad only huntat theMcAlester Ammunition Plant (SE Oklahoma) the last 2 years and haven't been drawn yet. A lot of big deer and a good experience if you get drawn. You have to check the regs @ www.wildlifedepartment.com to see the prices, seasons, and bag limits. Happy hunting!!!
