Fish and wildlife; limiting the number of whitetail deer harvested each season. Effective date.

SB 338 limits licensed hunters in Oklahoma to harvesting one antlered whitetail deer per year, with an exemption for hunters operating in commercial hunting areas. The Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission will enforce this annual harvest limit, which takes effect on November 1, 2025. This rule directly affects individual hunters who are not in commercial hunting operations by restricting their annual deer harvest. The bill does not alter current regulations for commercial hunting areas or other wildlife management practices.
