Purpose In order to manage game animals, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is offering hunters the opportunity to apply for controlled hunt permits. Controlled hunts are held in situations where unrestricted hunting would pose safety concerns or where overharvest might occur. Controlled hunt permits are awarded through random drawing, and some of the hunts are highly sought after, with more applicants than available permits. If selected, hunters will be able to hunt on lands managed by the Department and cooperating state, federal and private areas.
