WMA Check-In Requirements for Nonresidents; New Rules in Effect Now

New this year, nonresidents accessing certain public hunting and fishing areas for any reason must check in and out of the area. More information, including a list of required areas, is available now at wildlifedepartment.com/check-in. The new check-in rules do not apply to Oklahoma residents.

Additionally, any nonresident hunting game birds on a WMA (this includes any GMA, PHA, WRP, WDU, or WMU) must possess a game bird permit.
