Hunting in Oklahoma: what to know

Licenses & seasons

Refuge hunts follow Oklahoma seasons, bag limits and license requirements set by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. Refuges may be more restrictive — never less — than state rules.

Refuge-specific rules

Each refuge publishes hunt regulations in 50 CFR Part 32 and in its hunt brochure. Units marked special regulations may limit species, dates, weapons, or require quota permits.
