Southeast Oklahoma is a true hunters' paradise. While most hunters would probably like to own their own hunting land, Choctaw County and McCurtain County in Southeast Oklahoma have thousands of acres available for public hunting. When we get hunting land to list, it always attracts a lot of attention, but when we don’t have any hunting parcels available, remember that you can live anywhere in our beautiful part of America and be close to public hunting areas.

For those living near Hugo Lake including those that have chosen to live on the water at Lake Raymond Gary, there are many acres of hunting land around Hugo Lake. According to the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers site for Hugo Lake, there are around 26,000 acres available around Hugo Lake to the hunter. 18, 000 acres which are managed by The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation and 8,000 more acres managed by the Corps”

“The lake area offers excellent hunting opportunities with over 25,000 acres of land available to the hunter. Bow hunting is permitted in and around most of the park areas. Kiamichi Park contains an archery practice range and is now a 3,000-acre Quality Deer Management Area. This makes Hugo Lake a “one of a kind” area, where quality archery hunting is available within walking distance of Class-A camping.”₁

Map of Hugo Lake, courtesy of the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, is available on their site. The dam on Hugo Lake is on the Kiamichi River. The Kiamichi River flows into Red River about 18 miles downstream after leaving the Hugo Lake at the spillway located at Sawyer, Oklahoma.

Anywhere that you live in our area, you can’t be very far from Pine Creek Lake which is approximately 8 miles north of Valliant, Oklahoma. Again, according to the U.S. Army Corp:

“Hunting at Pine Creek Lake is in accordance with applicable Federal and state regulations. Unless otherwise posted, hunting is permitted in designated hunting areas with all legal weapons. Generally, all lands are open to the public for hunting except developed recreational areas and lands around the dam and other structures.”

There are two areas for archery only – 200 acres north of Hiway 3 and 120 acres west of Little River Park. This map of Pine Creek Lake indicates the many acres that are available to the public for hunting around Pine Creek Lake.

Broken Bow Lake area in McCurtain County is the area that many local hunters head to during deer season.

“With the exception of developed areas and certain Game Preserves, all project lands are open to the public for hunting. Deer are the most important big game species found in the area.” ₁

The Three Rivers Wildlife Management Area covers 250,000 acres and is a permitted area for hunting and other recreation. Details concerning the permit costs, etc. can be found on the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Web Site.

So if you want to live near where the hunting is good, come to Southeast Oklahoma. If you have huntin gland in our area that you want to sell, call Judi Barrett, broker at Integrity Real Estate Services about what she does to get your property noticed by buyers looking to buy hunting land in Southeast Oklahoma.

The county seat of McCurtain County is Idabel. It is the largest city / town in the extreme southeast corner of Oklahoma with a population of about 7000. Idabel is only about 20 miles from Texas and about 20 miles from Arkansas, just a couple of hours from the Dallas – Fort Worth, Texas area and about 3 to 3 ½ hours from the Oklahoma City area or from Tulsa, Oklahoma according to Internet travel sites. I think that most of the time, it takes folks just a tad longer to drive those distances, but the point is that we’re close enough for folks in the larger cities to get here in a relatively short time period to enjoy the great rivers, lakes, and countryside that we have to offer.

Southeast Oklahoma is the fisherman’s paradise and the hunters dream. If you want to fish the corp of engineer’s lakes, come to Southeast Oklahoma for Broken Bow Lake, Pine Creek Lake, and Hugo Lake. If you want to live on the water, own the shore and fish out the back door, come to Raymond Gary Lake for waterfront property. Raymond Gary Lake is only a short driving distance to both Hugo Lake and Pine Creek Lake. So even though Raymond Gary is a “no wake” excellent fishing lake, if you want to ski, etc., you can be on a larger lake in a matter of minutes, while living on the water at Raymond Gary. There are acres and acres of hunting land in both McCurtain and Choctaw Counties.
