Attention Non-Residents

The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission adopted new rules in 2025 that require non-residents accessing certain Oklahoma public hunting and fishing areas to check in and out of the area. By checking in and out of these areas, hunters, anglers, shooters, birdwatchers, hikers, and any other users can help the Wildlife Department better understand how the area is being used. There is no additional cost associated with checking in or out of an area. There is no limit to the number of check-ins for an individual in a year.

Learn More About Public Check-In

All hunting seasons are closed except controlled turkey, elk and deer hunts. Contact the refuge for waterfowl special restrictions.

Daily/Size Limits:

Channel and/or blue catfish: six combined per day.

Methods:

Allowed methods: rod and reel only.

Guided Youth Hunts Open the Doors to Waterfowl Hunting

Shooting Range Work Advances at Full Bore
