I'm moving to Oklahoma in July and my wife and I just closed on the house this past monday.  I saw the land for the first time on saturday, and went for my first walk along the perimeter yesterday.  Here is some of what I saw.

 
10 yards from the front porch.

 
A couple of outbuildings.

 
A pond to the east.

 
A hog trail my wife and I decided to follow.

 
More hog sign, and some deer sign too.

 
There they are.  Ended up being 12-15 in this group.  A  couple of nice ones, too.

 
Snuck around some brush to get a little closer. This is around 80 yards away.  You can't tell it, but we ended up about 15 yards from a coyote in the brush in front of us.  He was watching the hogs, but eventually saw us and just walked around us, without ever running.  The hogs heard a noise far off in the distance and came our way, but hung up in the brush between us.  At least the wind was right for a change.  

 
Got around 30 yards from this one before my wife made me come back.  She didn't want me to spook any of them because she is going out friday morning with the gun.  Wish I would've taken my bow along for the walk.

Glad you're fixed. I'm available anytime to help with the hogs. Okies don't talk much about their deer. They keep them big boys a secret! Good luck.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.  I'm really psyched, and the wife and dogs are thrilled.  I may be in debt the rest of my life, but at least for now I'm finally looking at the possibility of hunting on my own land rather than crowded northeast public land.  Heeere piggy, piggy, piggy.
