Grady County WMA???

[fishfurlife]

Anyone got any new info about this place? I just checked and was drawn for an either sex ML hunt in Oct. I did a google search and found referance here and hunt info like what was posted by Harley but no map info.

The Kimble Ranch in question is i the love county area I believe. No the ranch north of lawton.

As for the Grady County Hunt, you will receive email/mail that directs you where to go and when to be there.

The land around birchi has always been open to hunting.

The Grady County WMA was donated to the department I believe. Only a section or so of land. It is located in the rush springs area.

i used to hunt the Kimble also and is pretty good hunting, lots and lots of hogs. but it does depend on which paster they get i used to hunt the area they called the barns.

After my fee payment it gave me a POC name and number and says the WMA its 4.5 miles east of Rush Springs. Have to have a dashboard permit to enter WMA. After looking at maps I see 1 OK sized chunk of wooded area with a small lake east of RS that looks to be the correct distance. Gonna have to call and get more info namely boundry areas and vehicle access areas. Good thing is you can scout anytime prior to hunt and its only a 65 mile drive.

Called the WMA office today and spoke to Rex Umber the guy in charge of the area. He said the survey still isn't done yet and untill it is and the boundry lines marked the WMA is closed to the public. They hope to have it done for the archery opener but it will be open for the quota hunts for sure he said. He also said those that got drawn for quota hunts will get the new maps in the mail of the new WMA and boundry lines.

Haven't been able to get into contact with anyone the last few days to see if the survey is done and boundry lines posted. Gonna keep trying. All I know to this point is they have built parking areas and done some land work. Not sure what land work was done or which of the two or both of the 500 acer plots they worked on. I would assume its still closed to the public for all activities still. Haven't received any map in the mail yet.
Found out that the new WMA book will be out around January and the new Grady WMA and Cross Timbers lands will be in that new book.

Well I got my map in the mail and called to see if it was open for hunting. It was so decided to hunt it for the archery opener. If I was after cattle it would be a great place as 2 of the 3 parcels have active cattle on them not to mention one has active natral gas rigs as well. Deer sign was next to nothing and some of the ponds that had deer sign was old. Whats not borded by active cattle ranches is borderd by private hunt clubs (thats what the signs on the fences said anyway). I'll go back for my ML quota hunt but I'm not gonna keep my hopes up.

I noticed it was open to fall turkey gun season. It looks maybe like the closest place to OKC to for fall turkey gun. Seen any?
