“In the small game woods, the most basic yet most important hunting skills are honed; skills like hunter safety, attention to detail, strategy, stealth, proper firearms handling and marksmanship. These are the building blocks of an effective, enjoyable hunting career that will pay dividends over time. And we’re inviting hunters to (re)discover the benefits that small game hunting can bring to the outdoor experience.” – Excerpt from the Wildlife Department’s “Small Game: A Guide for Hunters” blog on the Outdoor Oklahoma Journal
It’s January, and some may have already turned their attention from hunting as they start a new year. But make no mistake! Hunting for small game like squirrels and rabbits should not be an afterthought.
We’ve compiled a small game guide on our blog, the “Outdoor Oklahoma Journal” to help you learn a little more about squirrel and rabbit hunting.
With good small game opportunities remaining open through late February for squirrels and mid-March for rabbit, now’s the time to get new or young hunters in the woods and fields to build and grow their hunting skills. It all starts with a valid hunting license and knowing the state’s small game hunting regulations.
