Seminars, activities and giveaways at Rack Madness

Participating in this year’s Rack Madness on March 6 at the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation headquarters in Oklahoma City could land you a great prize. Two lucky participants will win lifetime combination hunting and fishing licenses, and drawings and giveaways for other prizes will take place throughout the day. Full details are below. But it all starts with registering for the event!

This event will be held from 1-7 p.m. March 6 at the Wildlife Department headquarters at 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. In addition to scoring and prizes, there will also be seminars and other activities taking place throughout the day.

Registration and Requirements

Participants should pre-register online at GoOutdoorsOklahoma. Scoring will be handled on a first-come, 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.

Seminars

• 3 p.m. – “Age My Deer”

• 4 p.m. – “Score My Deer”

• 5 p.m. – “Habitat Management” Activities

There will be various activities located in the warehouse for families to do together.

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.

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. Stop by the warehouse at the Game Thief Trailer and see the Game Wardens to put your name in for this lifetime drawing.

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 itemsfromtheGo Outdoors Oklahoma shop and an Oklahoma resident annual hunting licenses with one deer tag of choice, donated by Oklahoma Hunters and Anglers LLC.
