The first full weekend in September is traditionally Free Hunting Days in Oklahoma. On these two days, Oklahoma residents can participate in open hunting seasons without a state hunting license requirement.
These days off also provide a perfect opportunity for today’s hunters to bring together some people who have never been hunting and give them an experience that could open a door for them, while also helping to continue a time-honored American outdoor tradition.
This year, open hunting seasons during Free Game Days include pigeon, squirrel, coyote, raccoon, beaver, striped skunk, prairie dog, rail and moorhen. State rangers will not check state hunting licenses for residents on those days.
However, rangers will be on duty as usual to ensure compliance with bag limits, shooting hours, shotgun sockets, hunter education requirements, special area regulations, and other general regulations that may apply. published in the Oklahoma Fish and Game Regulations. The regulations are available online at www.wildlifedepartment.comon the free Go Outdoors Oklahoma mobile app for Apple or Android, or in free print at license dealers statewide.
