McCurtain County?

[idletime]

Hey guys I am new to the forum, and from Texas (hopefully you can forgive me http://www.okshooters.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif ).

Have a question. I found a few pieces of property in Southeastern Oklahoma that I am looking pretty hard at.

Since I am unfamiliar with this part of the country. Any advice would be great.

Questions I have are:

Is the hunting any good?

What is the deer population? Other animals in the area?

I am looking at properties from 40-80 acres, is that too small?

Any target counties or areas I should avoid or look into more?

Here are some of the properties I am considering:

Thanks in advance from a fellow hunter!

If you don't find what you are looking for there, I work for a land development company in Antlers. We have quite a few properties in SE Oklahoma from 2 acres, to 880. PM me if you are interested.

Welcome to another Texan!

McCurtain County is one of the few that are open for Black Bear season for archery and muzzleloader.

I hunted McCurtain County once when I was a 14 years old on a 300 acre lease. I was bow hunting and the deer were moving, this was during muzzle loader season. I saw the biggest buck I have ever seen in my life. He was just out of shooting range for me and was trailing a hot doe. I had a perfect broadside shot on him but he was about 60 yards away. I never did get a good look at his rack as his head was always behind brush or a tree. I just know his body was huge, definitely more than 200 lbs.

I really like McCurtain County. They have some really good hunting there. The guy I was hunting with killed a really nice 8 point that weekend.

Thanks for the insight guys! Looking at a little place with lots of moving water. Should be a wildlife highway. However, you never know until you ask.

Re the Hillbilly comments - I do have a purdy mouth

you forgot Pot... Oklahomas number one cash crop is marijuana and alot of it comes from McCurtin Co.
Don't stray onto someone elses land by accident, boobie trapped pot fields are not uncommon.
