Heading to Black Kettle Oklahoma public ground this spring. Has anyone ever hunted there and can give us some insight on the place. Thanks in advance.

We hunted quail there about 10 or 12 years ago. As stated its a beautiful place. Lots of quail and I remember seeing several flocks of turkeys. Lots of rattlers too, be careful when you sit down

If you are not familiar with Black Kettle, it is basically made up of a bunch of separated parcels of land scattered within a lot of private land holdings in the area.  Some of the parcels are small, and some are pretty good size.  There are a lot of turkeys in the area, but unless things have changed in the last couple of years, there are a lot of hunters there too.  From what I was told, it is pretty crowded at the start of the season and then the pressure slacks off later on.  The trick to success there I think is to figure out which parcel to hunt and then get there before the next guy.  It should be interesting....

I'm going to try it for the first time this year.  Hopefully I will be able to take off during the week to avoid the weekend rush.

It's easy hunting and rough competition.  I can find easier places to hunt public land birds.

I hunted it in 2006 after the wildfires..we killed one bird...lots of hunters..but the birds are there. Find water and hunt good sign around the water.
