About this unit

Sign in to contribute

Rogers County in northeast Oklahoma is centered on Claremore and Oologah Lake, combining Verdigris River bottomland whitetail hunting with noteworthy waterfowl migration on the reservoir. Cross Timbers oak woodland covers the uplands while the Verdigris River corridor provides thick bottomland timber attractive to deer and turkeys. Proximity to Tulsa draws weekend hunters to Oologah Lake Corps land, but the river bottoms away from the lake offer quality hunting with manageable competition.

Terrain & elevation

Rolling Cross Timbers hills with post oak and blackjack woodland transitioning to Verdigris River bottomlands. Oologah Lake covers substantial acreage and provides extensive shoreline and flooded timber habitat connecting to the Arkansas River drainage.

Hunting pressure

Moderate to high. Proximity to Tulsa at approximately 25 miles drives weekend hunting pressure on Oologah Lake Corps land, particularly during waterfowl seasons and the firearms deer opener.

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

Oologah Lake is a notable waterfowl destination during fall migration, drawing Canada geese, mallards, and diving ducks. Eastern wild turkeys are present throughout the hardwood drainages and river bottom timber of the county.

Highlights

Oologah Lake waterfowl migration is a major draw for duck and goose hunters from the Tulsa metro area. The Verdigris River bottomlands hold mature whitetails in accessible proximity to a large population base, making Rogers County a consistent producer for northeastern Oklahoma hunters.
