Kiowa, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma area???? Good?

[TheSportsman]

Hey guys, a friend of mine just got permission to hunt a 600 acre tract of timber and small fields in Pittsburg County Oklahoma, relatively close to Kiowa.  Whats the hunting like in this area?  Lots of birds? Terrain?  Im not sure what to expect, but we are planning on going.  Only areas Ive hunted west of the MS River is Arkansas and Texas(South and North Panhandle).  Any ideas on this area and any advice would be greatly useful and appreciated.  Not really sure what to expect?

Sorry to say it, but it's pretty hit or miss. Pitt county is part of the nine county's with a shorter, combined one bird limit.

Now, you could have a good pocket, because those do exist in those areas, but that is the Eastern range. Go west 90 miles and you will be covered in Rios.

Good luck!

I hunt just east of Blanco and will say the turkey population has gone way down over the past 5 years and also the limit for gobblers has changed. Hopefully you have some birds there on your place. The deer hunting is pretty good!

If there are birds then then hunt it but who knows, that part of the state is in terrible shape when it comes to turkeys.

Man... kind of discouraging.....         Now, im wondering if I should spend money on going somewhere else...??

I wouldn't give up until I've at least give it a once over, but be prepared for a second plan of action.

Give it a chance because there could be a good pocket of birds there. I have seen turkeys around Kiowa, so all is not lost.  If you go and it's a gar hole, pack up and head west. There is a lot of public land loaded with Rios in Oklahoma.
