License - Hunting and Fishing
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation receives no
general state tax revenues and is proud to be funded entirely by
sportsmen. We take our responsibility seriously to conserve the
state’s wildlife for future generations and provide you with the
best recreational opportunities possible.
Every time you purchase a hunting or fishing license in
Oklahoma, you are helping fund wildlife conservation in our
state. The majority of the Department’s money is obtained
through the sale of licenses. These monies go toward managing
the fish and game species across the state. When you provide
habitat for one species, all species in the area benefit--from
largemouth bass to turtles, from white-tailed deer to song
birds--all species are helped. Buying licenses has helped bring
back the wild turkey to populations rivaling those found here
around the turn of the 20th century. It has helped bring fish
species to our state that our fathers could only dream of:
striped bass, saugeye, trout and hybrid stripers (a cross
between white bass and striped bass).
