Oklahoma deer hunting
Whats the deer hunting like in OK? I'm looking at taking a job down there and was wondering. I would be either in the Tulsa or Oklahoma City area. I would be mostly bowhunting. Is there a lot of timber, riverbottoms,grasslands? What would be considered a big buck as far as scoring? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Justin

RE: Oklahoma deer hunting
We have some big deer here. It isn't Kansas though.
The western part of the state has bigger bucks. But it is also more open country. The south east part of the state has more pine trees. We have a lot of deer. But you aren't going to see a lot of big bucks. You will see some though. I will also add that this is probably one of the worst deer seasons I have ever seen. I don't know if that's due to too much food because of all the rain we had last spring. Or if we did have a die off last winter.

RE: Oklahoma deer hunting
Oklahoma is a large state with a wide range of topography. I hunt in Alfalfa county, and there are LOTS of deer and some really good racks too. On our place, we have river bottoms, timber, grasslands, and wetlands. Here are some of the deer my son and I have killed.

RE: Oklahoma deer hunting
I hunt about halfway between the two cities you mentioned. The racks inthat area can be very nice by most anyone's standards. There is also quite a lot of public hunting land In Oklahomaand lots of it around the areas you mentioned.All in all, I consider Oklahoma to be a very good place to hunt deer. I have killed a few good ones...
