License requirements are listed by game animal throughout the 2011-2012 Oklahoma Hunting Guide and this web site, and for many wildlife species a "hunting license" is one of those requirements. There are many different types of "hunting licenses" that meet this requirement, and rather than listing all of them with every species, we have listed them below. So, if a "hunting license" is required, you must possess any one of the following.
| IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT A "HUNTING LICENSE" IS ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING
|
IF YOU ARE A NONRESIDENT A "HUNTING LICENSE" IS ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING
The Nonresident Lifetime Hunting, Nonresident Lifetime Combination Hunting/Fishing, Lifetime Nonresident Small Game Hunting and Lifetime Nonresident Combination Small Game Hunting/Fishing licenses are no longer available for purchase. However, these licenses will be honored for persons already possessing one. |
What's the difference?
A "Resident" is any individual who has an established residence in Oklahoma for a period of not less than 60 consecutive days immediately preceding the date the application for a license is submitted. (Note: For the lifetime, senior, and 5-year licenses, the period of residency must be six months, or more.) The burden of establishing proof of residency is on the person claiming residency status. A person holding a valid driver license shall be deemed to be a resident of the state issuing the license or permit.
For a valid Oklahoma driver license to be used as the sole source of proof of residency, it shall have been issued not less than 60 days prior to submission of the application. If a person does not hold a valid Oklahoma driver license, the Department may consider other reliable documentation for establishing proof of residency including, but not limited to, resident income tax returns, voter registration, motor vehicle or vessel registrations, and other public records documenting residence.
Residency status of children under 18 years of age is presumed to be that of the custodial parent or legal guardian unless otherwise documented. Ownership or possession of real property in the state by a person residing outside the state shall not qualify the person as a resident. A person is not entitled to claim multiple states of residence, with the exception of active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and any dependents, when applying for annual licenses.
A "Nonresident" is any individual who is a resident of another state or who has resided in Oklahoma for a period of less than 60 days whether or not he or she intends to make Oklahoma his or her home.
