Sign in to contribute

McIntosh County in east-central Oklahoma wraps around Lake Eufaula, the state's largest lake, creating a patchwork of Corps of Engineers land, Cross Timbers timber, and river bottoms ideal for whitetail hunting. The Canadian and North Canadian River arms of Eufaula back up into remote timbered fingers that concentrate deer and turkey. Hunting character is defined by the lake's influence and extensive wooded shorelines that see far less pressure than the bass-fishing crowds would suggest.

Terrain & elevation

Rolling Cross Timbers hillsides with cedar and oak cover transitioning to Canadian River bottomlands and Lake Eufaula wooded shorelines. Multiple creek drainages feed the reservoir and create productive wildlife corridors.

Hunting pressure

Moderate. Corps of Engineers lands receive decent pressure but the size of Eufaula shoreline disperses hunters effectively across a large footprint.

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter archery and rifle tags. No antler restrictions.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey are common in the oak and hickory timbered ridges surrounding the lake. Waterfowl hunting in shallow coves can be productive during migration periods.

Highlights

Lake Eufaula Corps of Engineers lands offer extensive walk-in public hunting access; bass fishing pressure paradoxically reduces hunter competition in timbered lake fingers.
