Pawnee 160 is 160 acres of open pasture and creek-bottom timber in Pawnee County, Oklahoma, right between Blackburn and Skedee and about an hour from Tulsa. The property sits up on a hill, with about five ponds running down the middle.

Black Bear Creek runs along the entire northern border of the property, winding toward the Arkansas River. Between the creek and the ponds there's good water throughout, and the timber along the creek bottom gives deer and turkeys cover. Duck hunters like the place, too.

We want to be straight with you about what this place is. Deer move through the property and there's a feeder on site, but this isn't a trophy buck operation, and success isn't guaranteed. What you get is quiet, low-key ground and a relaxed pace. That makes it a great fit for a first hunt, or for a parent bringing a son or daughter out to learn.

You can sight in your rifle or do some target practice right off the cabin porch before you head out, and end the day around the fire pit.

This is a working cattle ranch. Our cattle and horses are friendly and are currently kept outside the hunting area. You'll come in on red dirt roads and through two ranch gates, so please close every gate behind you.

We're about an hour from Tulsa and less than 10 miles from the highway.
