Join us for Rack Madness March 6

Rack Madness will be held on Wednesday, March 6th from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Wildlife Department Headquarters 1801 N. Lincoln Blvd. in Oklahoma City. This family friendly event welcomes anyone to bring their antlers, horns or skulls for professional scoring by ODWC personnel. There will be prizes, seminars, and other activities during the event. Oklahoma has seen a number of impressive entries to the Cy Curtis Program. These trophy harvests are documented in the Cy Curtis Awards Online Database, which allows users to customsearch thousands of record animals harvested right here in Oklahoma.

Registration and Requirements

Participants should pre-register online at GoOutdoorsOklahoma. com. Scoring will be handled on a firstcome, first-served basis. There is a two-item scoring limit per participant. Antlers must both be attached to the skull plate, whether mounted or unmounted. In addition to white-tailed and mule deer antlers, scoring will be available for elk antlers, antelope horns and bear skulls. Harvest must have occurred in Oklahoma.

Lifetime License Giveaways and Other Prizes

Register to get your deer, elk, antelope, bear or elk scored and you could win an Oklahoma Lifetime Combination Hunting and Fishing License donated by the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Foundation.

And to help recognize “hunters in the know take a doe”, the Oklahoma State Game Warden Association is also giving away an Oklahoma Lifetime Combination Hunting and Fishing License to one lucky person who harvested a doe during the 2023-2024 deer season.

The winners of the lifetimes must be eligible to hold a lifetime license and will have the option to transfer the prize to someone else who is eligible. The lifetime drawings will take place at 6:45 p.m. and participants do not have to be present to win. Anyone who checks-in at the event after 6:30 p.m. will not be eligible to participate in the drawing.

The National Deer Association will give a free membership to the first 100 people in the door.

There will also be hourly drawings for prizes during the event including items from the Go Outdoors Oklahoma shop and an Oklahoma resident annual hunting licenses with one deer tag of choice, donated by Oklahoma Hunters and Anglers LLC.

Cy Curtis Awards Program

Hunters whose officially scored items meet the minimum score and drying period requirements will be eligible for the ODWC’s Cy Curtis Awards Program, which recognizes trophy Oklahoma mule deer, elk, antelope and black bear as well as the hunters who harvest them. The program began in 1972. For more information on the Cy Curtis Awards Program check out the Wildlife Department’s Cy Curtis Awards webpage.
