Free hunting days on the horizon Sept. 2-3, says ODWC

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) is reminding Oklahomans of the first full weekend of September "traditionally" know as Free Hunting Days in Oklahoma is right around the corner.

Wildlife officials confirm, on September 2-3, Oklahoma residents may participate in open hunting seasons without the requirement to have a state hunting license. 

This year, open hunting seasons during Free Hunting Days include a number of species, such as dove, squirrel, and coyote. Others are listed in the current Oklahoma Fishing & Hunting Regulations right here (fishing) and here (hunting).

These free days provide a perfect chance for seasoned hunters to instruct a newcomer to the sport or even to introduce someone completely new to the time-honored American tradition of hunting.
