So Who Can Go Hunting During<br />
<strong>Youth</strong> <strong>Deer</strong> <strong>Gun</strong> <strong>Season</strong>?<br />
The youth deer gun season is for youth hunters under 18 years <strong>of</strong> age who<br />
have adult supervision from someone who is 18 years old or older. The adult<br />
cannot hunt deer with a gun, but may archery hunt while accompanying the<br />
youth hunter. The adult hunter may not possess any firearms except under<br />
provisions <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Oklahoma</strong> Self-Defense Act and <strong>Oklahoma</strong> Firearms Act.<br />
Okay, We Want to Participate .<br />
What Licenses Do We Need?<br />
The age <strong>of</strong> the youth who will be hunting will have an impact on<br />
what licenses they need to participate. For example, older youth are<br />
required to have both an <strong>Oklahoma</strong> hunting license plus a youth deer<br />
gun license for each deer they hunt, whereas younger youth don’t have<br />
to have both. It’s all explained below. Just choose the description below<br />
that fits the youth who will be hunting.<br />
Resident youth under 16 years <strong>of</strong> age:<br />
Resident youth under the age <strong>of</strong> 16 must possess a youth deer gun<br />
license (antlered or antlerless) or an apprentice-designated youth<br />
deer gun license or pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> exemption. However, these youth are<br />
exempt from the purchase <strong>of</strong> a hunting license. <strong>Youth</strong> seven years <strong>of</strong><br />
age or under must be hunter education certified to hunt deer. <strong>Youth</strong><br />
eight years old or older who are not hunter education certified can<br />
still hunt with an apprentice-designated hunting license (see page 9).<br />
