I hunted 7 seasons in Oklahoma. All on public. I killed some nice bucks. Used to be 2 buck limit but one had to be bow or crossbow. That may have changed. They had a great rut where I was hunting. From about Nov 5th-15th it was on. Before rifle season too. Pressure on public THEN was practically non existent. It used to be a sleeper state but its been getting good attention for a few years now. I lived in Tulsa for 7 years and thats the ONLY thing I miss about it.
