The holiday antlerless deer gun season is underway and will remain open through Dec. 31.

Timed just right for families and friends to hunt together, the 14-day holiday season delivers serious benefits. First, it’s a great opportunity to put extra venison in the freezer, since participating hunters can harvest two bonus antlerless white-tailed deer (even if they’ve already harvested the maximum combined season limit of six deer for all other deer seasons). Additionally, it’s a chance to help the Wildlife Department accomplish important deer management goals, such as working to even out the state’s buck-to-doe ratio.

Check out our recent blog on the Outdoor Oklahoma Journal for all you need to know about the holiday antlerless deer gun season. But most importantly, get out to your favorite spot and enjoy some great winter hunting.
