Burks Whitetails

Burks Whitetails has operated as a family-owned hunting preserve since Gene Burks founded the operation at age 65. When Gene passed away in 2010, his oldest grandson Clay and wife Christina took over the ranch and continue running it today with the same vision: provide hunters with unforgettable experiences in native Oklahoma habitat.

The hunting property sits along the Red River in southern Oklahoma, just 106 miles north of Dallas and 160 miles southeast of Oklahoma City—making it convenient for hunters from Texas and across the region.

• •Whitetail deer - Primary game with trophy-class bucks
• •Elk hunts - Available through their operations

• •Fallow deer - Another exotic option
• •Bow fishing trips - $275 per person (4 hours, 2-person minimum)

The ranch combines thick hardwood shelter belts with sandy creek bottoms along the Red River. This native habitat diversity gives hunters multiple hunting methods and terrain options.

Their whitetail herd is actively managed for age, nutrition, and genetics. Gross scores on harvested deer typically range from approximately 140 to 320+, giving hunters options at every trophy level.

All whitetail hunts are fully guided and include lodging, meals, and drinks. Most hunts wrap up in 2-3 days. Burks runs small group hunts—typically only your group uses the lodge at a time—so guides can focus on individual hunters.

Hunting methods include: - Tower blinds - Ground blinds - Tree stands - Horn rattling

• •Guides score and age deer before the shot. You make the final call on whether to hunt that particular buck. Guides are experienced professionals who actually enjoy guiding.
