With dove season opening statewide today, hunters should remember to stay up to date with the latest Oklahoma Fishing & Hunting Regulations, available now online and in print anywhere hunting licenses are sold.

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.
