How to apply in Oklahoma

Anyone 30 years of age or younger who is not Hunter Education certified must hunt as an apprentice and abide by the accompanying hunter requirements below.

EXEMPT FROM HUNTER EDUCATION • Anyone 31 years of age or older

A certificate issued by another state or country and approved by the Wildlife Department may be accepted.

Controlled hunt applicants (including lifetime license holders) must pay an application fee ($10 for residents; $50 for nonresidents) to enter the Controlled Hunts drawing.

IF DRAWN, additional license and user fees may apply.

Points are kept without applying every year, but all are forfeited after five years in a row without applying; no maximum number of points.

A $10 application fee allows multiple applications in controlled hunt categories (elk, pronghorn, deer, spring turkey) and includes the option to select Preference Point Only.

For group applications, the preference points of each hunter in the group will be averaged.

Category 5 (Youth deer hunts): One applicant only; no group applications.

Category 2 (Antelope hunts): One applicant only; no group applications.

Category 3 (Deer hunts): Up to four (4) hunters may apply together.

Category 1 (Elk hunts): One applicant only, but up to two (2) hunters may apply together for walk-in hunts.

Category 6 (Spring turkey hunts): Up to two (2) hunters may apply together, except McAlester AAP hunters must apply in pairs and Deep Fork applicants must apply alone.

Once in a lifetime: successful elk and antelope controlled-hunt applicants may not reapply in that category.

Email notification to successful applicants; documents under 'Controlled Hunt Applications & Awards' in Go Outdoors Oklahoma (web or app).
