About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedJefferson County anchors the south-central Oklahoma Red River country, where Waurika Lake and the Beaver Creek watershed create a rich mix of hardwood bottomland and open prairie supporting excellent whitetail and turkey populations. The Corps of Engineers manages extensive land around Waurika Lake providing accessible public hunting close to Interstate 35. The county consistently produces quality bucks from its Red River tributary drainages and mature bottomland hardwoods.
Rolling red-clay hills and open prairie cut by Beaver Creek and its tributaries flowing toward the Red River, with Waurika Lake and its associated hardwood bottomlands dominating the landscape.
Moderate; proximity to I-35 and OKC metro draws weekend hunters to Waurika Lake WMA but large acreage distributes pressure effectively.
Oklahoma OTC deer license; Waurika Lake WMA has quota hunt components for managed areas within the WMA boundary.
Wild turkey populations are excellent in the lake hardwood drainages; waterfowl use the lake during migration and winter; dove hunting on surrounding farm fields is popular.
Waurika Lake WMA offers some of the best accessible public-land deer hunting in south-central Oklahoma; mature hardwood timber produces consistent buck sightings along creek drainages.
