Sign in to contribute

Pawnee County sits in north-central Oklahoma where Cross Timbers red clay hills and blackjack oak woodland define the terrain, with Keystone Lake along the southern border providing riparian hunting access. Whitetail deer navigate the broken terrain of post oak ridges and creek drainages, with Arkansas River bottomlands offering thick cover for mature bucks. Eastern wild turkeys are common throughout the oak woodlands and proximity to Tulsa brings moderate weekend hunting competition.

Terrain & elevation

Cross Timbers landscape of red clay hills studded with blackjack and post oak. The Arkansas River runs along the southern border and Keystone Lake reservoir provides extensive riparian and shoreline habitat.

Hunting pressure

Moderate. Weekend pressure from Tulsa-area hunters targets Keystone Lake Corps land; mid-week hunting is considerably quieter throughout the county.

Tags & permits

Oklahoma OTC deer license system. Combination hunting license includes deer tags with additional tags purchasable. No statewide antler restrictions on private land.

Species & seasons

Eastern wild turkeys are present throughout oak woodlands and creek drainages. Some waterfowl opportunity exists along the Arkansas River corridor and Keystone Lake shoreline during migration.

Highlights

Keystone Lake bottomlands hold good whitetail numbers in classic Cross Timbers terrain. The broken ridge-and-draw topography creates natural funnels that concentrate deer movement during the rut.
