All Oklahoma Nonresident Deer Hunters Need Annual Hunting License
November 18, 2024

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.

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.

For complete rules and regulations for resident and nonresident hunters, consult the current Oklahoma Fishing & Hunting Regulations.
