Win Big with Outdoor Oklahoma Adventures

Four New Raffles Available Now

The Wildlife Department recently announced its newest slate of Outdoor Oklahoma Adventures raffles, and tickets are available now! There are four raffles being offered, including a chance at a premier private land elk hunt in southwest Oklahoma (you’re eligible even if you’ve been drawn for an elk hunt through the Oklahoma Controlled Hunts Program); a turkey hunt with Rio Rojo Outfitters; a fishing trip with the legendary Jimmy Houston at his southcentral Oklahoma ranch; and a lifetime combination hunting and fishing license. Scroll below for more information, or jump straight to purchasing your tickets! Outdoor Oklahoma Adventures tickets are $10 each, or $30 for a bundle of five tickets. Anyone can enter, whether or not you have a hunting or fishing license, and there is no limit to the number of tickets you can buy. All proceeds go directly to the Wildlife Department to fund conservation and public hunting and fishing opportunities for everyone. The last day to buy tickets is May 20. But why wait?
