Does anyone know of any good rabbit hunting spots out in western Oklahoma? I'm thinking about trying out maybe packsaddle or sandy sanders WMA. Just looking to get out and bag a few haven't been rabbit hunting in awhile. Any help is appreciated.
Welcome to OSA! It’s been many years but the place north of Foss lake used to have lots of rabbits. I think it’s Washita NWR. It’s steel shot only though. Take the highway west out of Butler and there was a parking lot with a sign with the rules.
I just looked it up. It’s only open for quail and rabbit after the first nine days of deer gun. Refuge number is 580-664-2205. Warden is Clint Carpenter 580-695-3642

I saw lots of Sandy Sanders last weekend while predator hunting, never saw one rabbit though...do jump a few on Black Kettle some, don't get up to Packsaddle much
Not sure if it is open with the staff being furloughed.
Sandy Sanders
Rabbits are tough to find now. Back in the 70’s and 80’s I ran beagles.
I think it would be illegal to have more fun than running cottontails with beagles.
We went from shotgun to rim fire rifles and finally to .22 pistols just to introduce some difficulty to the hunt.
Rarely see one now in the same areas.

Welcome to the group! I used to go to Fort Cobb back in the day. It was always great for squirrels and occasionally rabbit.
Protected red tail hawks have made rabbit hunting a memory for the most part .
And poor fur prices too many predators
Good point bassin
