The most serious problem facing
outdoor recreationists in general, and hunters in
particular, is finding a place to pursue their individual
interests. Since many people have lost ties with the people
who own or control access to land, public use areas are in
great demand. The Oklahoma
Department of Wildlife Conservation tries to provide some
land for public hunting across our state and manages over
1.6 million acres of
Wildlife Management Areas statewide.
Included in these areas are the lands covered in two
cooperative agreements, one between the ODWC and John Hancock Insurance Company, Renewable Resource, LLC. and J.M. Huber Corporation.
the other between the Department
and Weyerhaeuser Company. The completion of these agreements
ensures that public hunting, fishing, camping and other
outdoor activities will be allowed as long as all parties
are satisfied with the success of this venture. For more
information on these two unique partnerships, contact the
Department’s Southeast Regional Office at 918/297-0150.
