Public Lands
    Seasons on public lands may vary from statewide seasons. Consult public lands section beginning on page 44 of your 2011-2012 Oklahoma Hunting Guide.

Sale of Carcass
    Carcasses or parts of legally acquired furbearing animals and coyotes may be purchased, bartered, traded, sold or offered for sale.

Bobcat & River Otter Tagging Requirements
    No bobcat or river otter pelt may be held in possession after 10 working days after the close of furbearer season by the taker or buyer, sold, purchased or bartered within Oklahoma, nor taken out of Oklahoma, without having first affixed a permanent tag to the pelt. This tag shall serve as an export tag. The tag must be affixed by and authorized employee of the Department or designated private tagging agent.
    It is the responsibility of the possessor of the bobcat or river otter pelt, not the Department, to ensure that the pelt is legally tagged. No untagged bobcat or river otter harvested in another state may be possessed in Oklahoma. Tags are available from any game warden, wildlife biologist, state fish hatchery, Department field office and specifically designated private tagging station. Designated private tagging stations may charge a fee of 75 cents per tag. 2011-2012 bobcat or river otter export tags will not be affixed after March 14, 2012.

Sale of Furs
    Persons taking pelts during the season shall have 10 working days after the close of the season to sell or dispose of teh pelts or notify the Department in writing of intent to hold pelts after the 10-day deadline. All pelts held after the 10-day deadline must be inventoried on a form provided by and authorized Department employee. all bobcats and river otters must have a permanent tag affixed for the current year, prior to being held for later sale.

Possession of Carcasses or Hides
    It shall be illegal to possess live animals, carcasses or raw furs of ringtail, spotted skunk or swift fox unless it can be proven that each carcass or hide was taken legally outside of Oklahoma. Proof of legality or origin for carcasses or green hides shall be a tag or other marking or device attached to or imprinted on each and every hide in such a way that it cannot be removed intact. The tag or marking must be the official method used by the issuing agency. If an identification is not required by the issuing agency, a hunting or trapping appropriate to the species taken is required as proof.

Tagging Hints
    All bobcats / otters must be tagged with a plastic tag that is looped under the skin from the eye to the mouth. If you choose to freeze your bobcat or otter whole prior to tagging, it is best to open a 1/2-inch wide slot under the skin from the eye to  the gum line with a knife or sharp screwdriver and install some sort of spacer that can be removed later to allow tagging once the bobcat / otter is frozen.
    Taking these few simple steps will allow the spacer to be removed and the tag attached in the proper location without having to thaw the bobcat or otter. Otherwise, it is best if you thaw the bobcat or otter enough that the tag can be placed before you bring it to be tagged.
