Summary

The bill would give the Oklahoma Wildlife Conservation Commission authority to declare open hunting seasons for deer, mountain lions, black bears and certain fish, and to designate two senior‑citizen deer hunting days. It also creates specific bowfishing dates on the Upper Illinois River and requires hunters to obtain special permits with set fees. The measure was intended to align wildlife management with agricultural concerns but failed in committee.
