By Donna IkenberryCountless Critters In Middle AmericaDrive one of many roads leading to Oklahoma’s Wichita Mountains WildlifeRefuge and you’ll almost be convinced that you are in another region ofthe country. Ascending from surrounding plains and flatlands, weclimbed into an island-like world of post and blackjack oaks, rocky outcrops, remnantmixed grass prairies and an assortment of manmade lakes many find excellentfor bass fishing.My husband, Mike, and I arrived in May to the 59,020-acre refuge, the largestrefuge in The Sooner State. Unlike most wildlife refuges, this one permits camping,thus allowing for multi-day visits and time to enjoy the trails, lakes and wildlife.Located in southwest Oklahoma, the region was originally set aside as a forestpreserve in 1901. Later, in 1905, it was deemed a game preserve. Today it is the oldestmanaged refuge in the United States. There are 553 refuges in the United Statescomprised of 150 million acres of habitat dedicated to preserving native Americanwildlife. Ironically, hunting is allowed on many of the refuges, including WichitaMountains where there are elk and deer seasons.Visitors to Wichita Mountains often come to see the American bison, or buffalo,as they are often called. Once estimated at 60 million — the largest mass of land animalsto ever exist — the bison were almost extinct by the late 1800s. The federal governmentintervened, along with concerned conservationists, and herds were rebuilt.TRAILER LIFE <strong>March</strong> 2012 17Go To:.comUser GuideContents
