Depends on what your budget is

Depends on the terrain

Oklahoma would mean a non resident liscense every season.

Distance will decide how often you can visit.
Unless you can afford a large place, your neighbors will play a big role in what goes on on your property.
What size deer are killed in the area and what size would you be happy killing?
Lots to consider, but a place of your own can be a lot of fun. I share a place with wife's family and we sure enjoy it.

Some of these have been mentioned by others but:

1)Proximity, you'll get much more use out of a closer property than an ideal one you don't frequent as much.

2)Clear title and access via public ROW or deeded access. Don't buy undivided interest unless you know what you are doing.

3)Same with easements, travel, oil/gas or conservation. Know what you are getting.

4) Consider availability/cost of introduction of electricity and water.

5) You don't have to own the mineral rights, but know who does and understand your rights and theirs.

6)Flood zones and drainage. consider them.

7)Adjacent property types and usages.

8)You gave a broad geographic area, prices for property will run from mid teens to much more for premium properties but probably $1600 to $2500 to buy something pretty decent.

9)Manage for what? Assuming deer you can manage on a 40 if the neighbors don't hunt. If they do, you'll need much more...closer to 1000 to really manage. Much depends on adjoining land types and uses and what your neighbors are shooting.
