Elk hunt private ranch in southwest Oklahoma

Private land elk hunts for the special southwest zone Kiowa county Oklahoma

We are offering hunters the chance to harvest free-ranging elk on our ranch which is located in Kiowa county smack dab in the middle of the special southwest zone. Unlike other elk hunting zones, the special southwest zone has no harvest quota. What this means to you as a hunter is that you don’t have to visit the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife (ODWC) webpage or call an 800 number every morning to determine if the quota has been met. Once the quota is met in these other zones, the elk hunting season is then closed. Our unlimited zone quota does not mean we are into the indiscriminate harvesting of as many elk as can be shot. On the contrary, we strictly limit the number of hunts we sell each year, each hunter is restricted to one elk, and we never mix hunting parties. If you book a hunt with me, your party will be the only ones hunting during that particular season. The elk found on our ranch are free ranging descendants of those roaming the Wichita wildlife refuge which is only 11 miles from our ranch. These are the same elk that hunters wait a lifetime to draw a tag for. With what we are offering, there is no need to wait a lifetime hoping to draw an elk tag or to drive all the way to New Mexico or Colorado. We are nestled in the Wichita mountains in Kiowa county Oklahoma which is only 2 hours from Oklahoma City and 200 miles from the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, an easy 3. 5- 4 hour drive. I have well concealed 2 person ladder stands and ground blind locations for 30-50 yard shots, or you can pick a spot of your own choosing. Rifle shots can range anywhere from 30 yards or closer out to 400 yards and beyond. This is a fair chase hunt for free ranging animals - not a high fenced canned hunt. Therefore you must rely on your skills and abilities to bag one of these amazing animals. This is real hunting and as such there is no guarantee that you will fill your tag but we ensure feed is available to them year-round and there are several bulls, cows and calves making regular visits. Those who have a lifetime license are not required to purchase an elk tag, however annual license holders and nonresidents must purchase an elk tag. All game regulations will be adhered to and a contract must be signed and notarized. I advise that you visit the ODWC web page and familiarize yourself with the elk hunting regulations and the accompanying map to see exactly where the special southwest zone is located. According to the Oklahoma wildlife regulations, legal bulls in our special southwest zone must have at least 5 points on at least one side giving you an excellent chance to bag a real trophy. An antlerless elk is defined as any elk with no visible antlers, regardless of sex. A deposit equaling half your hunt must be received at least 2 weeks before the start of your hunt date to guarantee your desired hunt dates. Elk hunt dates are not reserved until deposits are received so get your deposits in early to ensure your desired dates are locked in. My wife and I are ethical people who own and live on this ranch and as such, we invite you to come look the ranch over before you book your hunt. Historically the ODWC sets the season dates around July or August. Usually there is an early and late archery season (mid-October) as well as an early and late rifle season (December) with a youth hunt thrown in the mix usually in early October. Archery:
