How to obtain places to Hunt? (I'm in Oklahoma City)

What is the best way to find places to hunt or to obtain permission for new hunting areas? I know most ranchers don't care for coyotes, especially when the calves are about to drop. Should you hang around the feedstores to try to find friendly ranchers/farmers? Should I hope someone from central Oklahoma (Edmond/Okla City) reads this and has pity and wants to take me as a charity case? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif

I only have one place close to home. I have killed four yotes off of it over the last three years. One during deer season, right after I killed an 8 pt, and three by calling with an preymaster. I know there are bobcats on the property as I have seen them during deer season the last two years. This spot is about one-half of a section and I'm afraid to call too much from there.

Any advice is helpful.
 
I had some business cards made up, and drive the areas I want to hunt. I've found most of the smaller "ranchers" have full time jobs, so you will catch them in the evening or on the weekends. The feed store is not a bad idea. Once you pick up one, sometimes that will lead to another and so on. Another piece of advice that made since to me was, when out looking to pick up new spots leave the camo in the truck or even at the house.
Good Luck!
 
Hey I am in Edmond, Ok. I have a couple of places to hunt them, but I am new to Coyote hunting and have not had any luck. I have shot a couple while Deer hunting. I am in the process of making a E-caller. I just got a new 22-250 I am going to get it sighted in hopefully in the next week or so. If you know how to hunt them and could show me the ropes that would be great. Lke I say I have some places I just don't know how to hunt them.
 
How much land do you have access to? I have one spot that is close to 1/2 section of land (N. of Edmond).
The other spot is about the same but is near Wellston. Going to have to find other spots because I've been to these several times since deer season.

I'm not an expert but can call in the dumb ones. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif
 
Guy's something you might check into is the public land, nobody hunts it much after deer season and the place I checked out this weekend has plenty of coyotes on it. Also Corp. land around some lakes is open to public hunting and is often overlooked. Coyotes are very adaptable and can be found in some surprising places.
 
Hi

I live in Indiana now but have lived in Oklahoma for a large portion of my 44 years. Public land is pretty good in some places.


Also, the more you just get out there and go - the more places you'll end up having.

Here's one of many examples:
I was just there at Christmas time for a week. I was going Coyote hunting north of Prague/south of Stroud at Deep Fork WMA. I stopped at a old time gas station in Prague. They had a garage and they still pump your gas!

Anyway, the guy that runs the place picked up some visual clues - just wearing camo in rural OK isn't a "going hunting" indicator, some of us wear it any time as a fashion statement /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

He asked if we were going predator calling and we told him yes. To make a long story short - this ended up in us getting phone numbers to two other people - one is a landowner and the other was a guy that has a bunch of places and knows other landowners.

I guess what I am trying to say - You have to be out there to find more places to be out there! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Good Luck

Ditto....lots of public land out there and available. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
I carry three area plat maps in my car which is a break down of who owns each piece of land within the prospective county. If I see what looks like a good spot, I look it up on the map – find the owner and ask if they allow any coyote hunting. So far I’m 3 for 3, which has given me access to 1600 acres in two counties. I also have business card to present to them.

Good luck –
