How To Apply For Controlled Hunts

A Step-By-Step Guide

Controlled Hunt Application Period Closes 5/20/2024

The annual controlled hunts application period opens in April and runs until mid-May. The entire process occurs online at license.GoOutdoorsOklahoma.com. There is a one-time application fee of $10 paid at the time you apply, regardless of how many hunt categories you apply in. 

After applicants have reached the maximum number of hunt choices allowed in a category (up to 14 hunt choices across four categories for a $10 application fee), applicants will then be allowed to buy additional hunt choices at $3 per choice. There is no limit to how many extra hunt choices can be purchased, but applicants can only select a specific hunt once. Also, applicants will be able to add PointGuard insurance to each category, a safeguard against losing preference points in case the hunter cannot attend any of the hunts he wins.

 

 

2024 Controlled Hunt Categories

Additional hunt info will be available when they are selected in the GoOutdoorsOklahoma system.

Before You Apply

 

How To Apply

STEP 1:  All applicants (residents and non-residents) must possess or purchase a valid Oklahoma hunting license for the current calendar year of the drawing. Licenses are sold online at license.GoOutdoorsOklahoma.com and are valid immediately.

STEP 2:  Review the hunt options in the category list above. There are seven categories: elk, pronghorn, deer, youth deer, deer for the physically challenged, spring turkey, and youth spring turkey. Write down the hunt code for the hunt you want to apply for before you go online to start your application at GoOutdoorsOklahoma.com. 

STEP 3: If applying as a group, gather information for each hunter: 
A) Full name
B) Driver’s license (not required for youths)
C) Social Security number
D) Date of birth 
E) Address (city, state, and ZIP code)
F) Phone number

For more information about applying as a group, see Controlled Hunts: What Do I Need To Know.

STEP 4: Log in or, if a new customer, create an account at license.GoOutdoorsOklahoma.com. Click on “Controlled Hunts” and “Apply.” Fill out the application with the required information. Please double-check your personal information to make sure it is entered correctly so your application will not be disqualified.

STEP 5: Applications are submitted one category at a time; upon submitting one application and saving/printing the confirmation page, you will have the opportunity to choose to submit another application in a different category. Repeat the process to submit additional applications in as many categories as you desire. Be sure to complete and submit all of your applications in one session because you will lose information if you close the internet browser window.

STEP 6: A $10 application fee is required for each person on the application. If you apply for a group, you will pay the fee for each person in the group at one time. You will be required to enter your credit/debit card information. Only VISA, Discover, or MasterCard are accepted.

STEP 7: Submit your application and payment, then print/save your confirmation page so you have a record of the hunts you applied for. If you applied as a group, the confirmation will list all group members on the application. If you discover any discrepancies, contact the Wildlife Department immediately for assistance at (405) 521-3852.

STEP 8: Print/save your payment confirmation page. You can also print confirmation pages after you apply by clicking “Verify Controlled Hunts Applications.”

STEP 9: If you receive a notice that payment was not received, click on “Verify hunter information” to check accuracy, then return to payment information.
