Google Okla wildlife department it lists the public areas and rules for the areas. There are a few places that limit hunters and it is usually done on a drawing basis. I think Arcadia lake still has a drawing but it is bow only, check with Edmond. There are quite a few deer there, usually not big. If you want to check out a hunting guide in an area check with the local game ranger. Their phones are listed on Okla wildlife dept. They may be limited on how much they can approve of an operator, but they will probably find a way to steer you clear of lousy ones. The plus on a guide service ( if the money is no object), you don't have to find you own land and scout it( which is what you would need to do) you won't be run over by other hunters, and they will usually help you at least field dress your deer, and some manage their game for bigger bucks and does. I have never had the $ bills to use one. I have gone on daily dove hunts because the hunting here in the close Okc metro has fallen off so bad. For 50 or 65$ it was worth it to me.
