[QUOTE="cdragen, post: 3641233, member: 48392"] So I finally got my act together and went elk hunting after living in CO for nearly 30 years (granted a good portion of that was as a child)...and then three months later we sold the house and moved to Tulsa. I've been wanting to get out hunting here, but for a few reasons it seems a little harder to jump into. The biggest obstacle to me is that in Colorado a large portion of the state is National Forest, BLM, or other public lands, and getting a tag for a GMU/WMA in public lands is relatively easy. Public lands seem a little more sparse here by comparison, and unfortunately I don't know a lot of people with land willing to let me rifle hunt, and I'm not a bow hunter (yet anyway). On my elk hunt, we tracked herds across ridges and over mountains, but with less public land tracking and stalking deer seems less feasible here, and I hear more about blinds, tree stands, and feeders. It just seems like a very different ballgame than what I had learned about and prepared for in Colorado, and I'm hoping some of you can de-mystify it for me and help me learn how to hunt in Oklahoma. Where are good places to go? How do I need to change my approach to hunting? Is my rifle (Savage Model 10 in .308) appropriate for deer or should I use a smaller rifle? What am I not asking that a new hunter should ask? Thanks in advance for your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
