*** March 11-13, 2022 ***Oklahoma Public Land Hog Group Hunt March 2022??

[DNewer]

I have been exploring some public land hog hunting in Oklahoma last spring and summer. I have not been out here and not at least heard a hog and I have seen a hogs on all but one trip. I have not gotten a shot at a hog yet however I have gotten close (62 yds) but did not want to cross the oxbow to get to it.
There are ample primitive camping, RV hook ups, cabin rental in town, laundry and grocery located within a short drive.  Deer season runs through January 15th, turkey season opens April 6th.  If we go in March there is a good chance to find sheds as well.

It's extremely thick and there's a good chance you'll have to get wet to get to the pigs. Not for the faint of heart but as I said I've thoroughly scouted the area and  it's got a good population of hogs.

I'm hesitant to put the name of the WMA here on a searchable format however it's no secret. If anybody is interested shoot me a PM or give me a call. If we can get 3-4 people interested we should have a great time chasing hogs.

Here are some pics I took from earlier this year.   Some spore, a hog I didn't want to get wet tor (didn't realize I could have Waded the oxbow), shed I found in March etc.

I'll come if you carry me piggyback across the oxbow.

Will this be before or after our bear trip?

[DNewer]

I was counting on that already 'Nilla. Yeah this will be in March 2022 if anybody is interested. I'll start hunting it in January and February but it's good all year

[pdk25]

I don't know if my vacation schedule will support it.  I will be there with you in spirit, in any  case.

[DNewer]

Thanks Pat. If you wanna come do a bow fishing/hog hunt again we can make that happen!

All PMs answered. Thanks everyone. Not trying to be sneaky but don't want to put out a lot on a google able format.

I'm still upset that several of the WMA's are currently CLOSED to all hog hunting.

Oh, I'm so sorry! I did NOT intend for this to appear as if I was alleging that this place was closed off. Y'all have good luck out there!

[DNewer]

Hahaha no worries amigo. I get your frustration with how some of these lands are managed.  The ODWC certainly seems to put more value on deer hunting than other seasons.

[Aaron Proffitt 2]

This could be kinda fun ...

[Mike Bolin]

This might work out for me and a buddy. From what I can tell from the regulations we would need just a general hunting license...am I correct on that? Several of the guys that have posted here on this thread are folks that I've wanted to share a camp with for a good while. Praying that this works out for me!

[Wudstix]

I'd like to play.  March 2022 is still a ways out.  Pencil me in.  We have a PL hunting area within 2 1/2 hours Granger, that seems like similar terrain.

[DNewer]

Thanks for your interest. I sent you a PM with more info.

[Wudstix]

Dustin;
Thanks for the PM.  Can you get over the counter out-of-state licenses, I'm from TX?

[JamesD]

Michael,

    I live in TX, but grew up in and hunt often in Oklahoma. Oklahoma is over the counter and can be bought on line or through the Oklahoma Wildlife Dept. phone app. You may not need one to hunt hogs. Feral hogs are not considered game animals in OK and do not have any regulations for limits. As Justin has mentioned, some public lands in OK are not allowing the harvest of feral hogs, due to professional trappers being used to control the populations. I have a lifetime license there, and here is what the OKWD website states for hogs on public lands.

Public Lands
Hog hunting is closed year-round at Hackberry Flat WMA/WRP, Kaw WMA, Sandy Sanders WMA and Waurika WMA. Hogs may be taken on Department-managed lands during any established hunting season with methods authorized by the Department for that hunting season, except that during any open deer and/or turkey season, only appropriate methods, hunting hours and legal equipment for that deer and/or turkey season are authorized for taking or pursuing feral hogs. No feral hogs may be removed alive from a WMA.

Pursuit of hogs at night is prohibited from Oct. 1 - Jan. 15 and during any spring turkey season.

Pursuit of hogs at night during any other time of the year has the following restrictions:

Use of a firearm is prohibited
In addition, persons pursuing hogs must comply with all other WMA regulations (see Department-Managed Area Rules).

Resident & Nonresident License Requirements: All persons pursuing hogs must possess a hunting license (see Licenses & Permits), unless otherwise exempt. In addition, persons pursuing hogs on WMAs open during youth deer gun, bear muzzleloader (in open counties), deer muzzleloader, deer gun, Holiday Antlerless Deer Gun (in open zones), elk gun (in open counties) and antelope gun (in open areas) seasons with a shotgun and rifled slug, or any rifle or handgun larger than .22 caliber rimfire, must possess either a filled or unfilled license appropriate for the current season, unless otherwise exempt.

[DNewer]

Thank you James. Great info.
The WMA we are planning to hunt and the time frame does not overlap with any restricted season. Therefore a non resident hunting license is appropriate if you are coming from out of state.

Thanks!
Dustin
