Nonresident deer hunters participating in any Oklahoma deer season this fall will be required to have a nonresident annual hunting license in addition to a deer license for each method they hunt.
This includes those hunters who had already purchased a nonresident deer license prior to July 1. The 5-day nonresident hunting license is not valid for big game.
The new requirements are part of a hunting and fishing license overhaul known as the Oklahoma Wildlife License Modernization Act, a bill that condenses some 50 hunting and fishing licenses down to about 14 and helps secure more funding for conservation. Before the bill went into effect July 1, there hadn’t been any notable changes to the state’s fishing and hunting licenses or fee structure in over 20 years.
Nonresident deer licenses purchased prior to July 1 for archery, muzzleloader and firearms seasons will be valid for the 2024-25 seasons, but those hunters must also possess a nonresident annual hunting license.
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation appreciates the state’s nonresident hunters and the contribution they make to conservation in Oklahoma every year. To get your nonresident annual hunting license, log in to your Go Outdoors Oklahoma profile today.
