Southeast Oklahoma is a true hunter’s paradise.  While most hunters would probably like to own their own hunting land, Choctaw County and McCurtain County in Southeast Oklahoma have thousands of acres available for public hunting.  When we get hunting land to list, it always attracts a lot of attention, but when we don’t have any hunting parcels available, remember that you can live anywhere in our beautiful part of America and be close to public hunting areas.

 

For those living near Hugo Lake including those that have chosen to live on the water at Lake Raymond Gary, there are many acres of hunting land around Hugo Lake.  According to the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers site for Hugo Lake, there are around 26,000 acres available around Hugo Lake to the hunter.  18, 000 acres which are managed by  The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and 8,000 more acres managed by the Corps”

“The lake area offers excellent hunting opportunities with over 25,000 acres of land available to the hunter. Bow hunting is permitted in and around most of the park areas. Kiamichi Park contains an archery practice range and is now a 3,000-acre Quality Deer Management Area. This makes Hugo Lake a “one of a kind” area, where quality archery hunting is available within walking distance of Class-A camping.”₁

  Map of Hugo Lake, courtesy of the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, is available on their site. The dam on Hugo Lake is on the Kiamichi River. The Kiamichi River flows into Red River about 18 miles downstream after leaving the Hugo Lake at the spillway located at Sawyer, Oklahoma.

 

Anywhere that you live in our area, you can’t be very far from Pine Creek Lake which is approximately 8 miles north of Valliant, Oklahoma. Again, according to the U.S. Army Corp:

 

“Hunting at Pine Creek Lake is in accordance with applicable Federal and state regulations. Unless otherwise posted, hunting is permitted in designated hunting areas with all legal weapons. Generally, all lands are open to the public for hunting except developed recreational areas and lands around the dam and other structures.”

 

There are two areas for archery only – 200 acres north of Hiway 3 and 120 acres west of Little River Park. This map of Pine Creek Lake indicates the many acres that are available to the public for hunting around Pine Creek Lake.

 

Broken Bow Lake area in McCurtain County is the area that many local hunters head to during deer season.

 

“With the exception of developed areas and certain Game Preserves, all project lands are open to the public for hunting. Deer are the most important big game species found in the area.” ₁

 

The Three Rivers Wildlife Management Area covers 250,000 acres and  is a permitted area for hunting and other recreation. Details concerning the permit costs, etc.  can be found on the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Web Site.
