Sans Bois WMA covers 7,602.40 acres in southeast Haskell County, Oklahoma. The area is located south of McCurtain, about 2.5 miles south of Highway 31.
The area provides a variety of upland habitats, including forested ridges of oak/pine/hickory, with reclaimed rock mining areas adding diversity to the area and the northernmost portions having some native grass and wetland areas. The terrain is diverse, ranging from nearly flat to rocky and steep.
From Highway 31 at McCurtain: take S County Rd 3720 (W 1st Ave) south. Continue approximately 1.8 miles to E1300 Rd. Go east on E1300 Rd approximately .5 miles to northwest corner of north boundary of WMA.

Prescribed fire will be the dominant management tool utilized on the area, with both dormant and growing season burns conducted as prescribed fire infrastructure is developed. Woody vegetation control, increased daylighting and forb/native grass production will be the goal.
