The Curious case of the missing hunting land

I use google maps allot when looking for potential hunting land, the last few weeks i have been wanting to go check out a plot of land on the north side of Lake Texoma. On google its know as Texoma Public Hunting Area the locals call it Widow Creek.

I didn't take either of the dog and in allot of ways I'm very glad i didn't, first of i drove around this for 3 hours trying to find it, even with a GPS , the main road into is a single track and not very well paved at all. The thing that confused me was along the red line ( on the map ) its marked as private property with lots of signs stating that the owner will prosecute. This is what confused me the most, I thought perhaps i had miss the road so i set of to go round it only to realise nope that was the right property. i found the road that looks like an elbow joint , however the road leading into it had been dug up, one minute its paved the next a mud/bog track and then back to being paved.I followed this road that then became a trail round only to run up against a dead end, a 4 foot deep creek that was to wide to jump across

I have a friend who''s relative works as a park ranger for the cor of engineers who are supposed to own the property and find out if in fact they still do. It would be a real shame to find out that this property is now gone out of the public domain. Oklahoma has a proud tradition of public hunting and lands that are available for public use , we need more of these properties and not less.
