What lives here
Catoosa is managed for a handful of species, and each one is hunted under a genuinely different set of rules.
4 hunt formats · quota 1,000
White-tailed deer
The main event at Catoosa. Four separate formats across archery, muzzleloader and gun, most of them quota hunts that close the entire area to everyone else.
Spring only · one male per day
Eastern wild turkey
One of only two things open on the area through the spring closure, which makes the plateau a lot quieter than it is in November.
No limit · dogs permitted
Wild hog
Run as a control season rather than a sport season: no limit, dogs allowed, and any weapon legal for deer, bear or elk.
Feb walk-in only
Small game & furbearers
Raccoon, opossum, squirrel, bullfrog and trapping — plus the odd set of rules that govern coyote, fox and bobcat during big game seasons.
