Sign in to contribute

Murray County in south-central Oklahoma is defined by the Arbuckle Mountains, a unique geological formation where ancient Precambrian rock outcrops create rugged limestone ridges and cedar-choked canyons unlike anywhere else in the state. White-tailed deer navigate these rough drainages and benefit from lake country created by the Lake of the Arbuckles and Lake Murray. Wild turkey are found throughout the cedar and oak timber, and the diverse terrain attracts hunters seeking a more challenging, vertical Oklahoma experience.

Terrain & elevation

Limestone and dolomite Arbuckle Mountain ridges with deep canyon draws, cedar brakes, and scattered hardwoods. Lake of the Arbuckles and Lake Murray provide flat water surrounded by rugged upland terrain.

Hunting pressure

Moderate. Chickasaw NRA receives steady pressure but rugged terrain filters casual hunters and creates quality back-country hunting opportunities.

Tags & permits

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

Species & seasons

Wild turkey are a quality secondary target in the Arbuckle cedar-oak matrix. Rough terrain and springs create excellent year-round deer habitat supporting some impressive bucks.

Highlights

Arbuckle Mountain deer hunting offers vertical terrain unusual for Oklahoma; Chickasaw National Recreation Area is a quality public land option in a region dominated by private ground.
