Fish and wildlife; requiring a certain number of tags to be issued to Oklahoma residents. Effective date.
This bill amends Oklahoma wildlife regulations to require that at least 90% of hunting tags for specific game animals be issued to state residents. It also updates rules for senior citizen deer hunting days, sets specific bowfishing seasons on the Upper Illinois River, and clarifies how the Wildlife Conservation Commission determines hunting limits based on animal populations and agricultural needs. The legislation ensures that any changes to hunting seasons or limits made by the Commission must follow a public hearing process and be published in newspapers before taking effect.
