Youth Bonus Deer Hunt

Private Lands Youth Deer Hunts

Each year youth hunters have a unique opportunity to participate in one or numerous bonus deer hunts that take place on private land. There are two application periods that offer hunts on private lands. The first opens in April with the standard Controlled Hunts application period for any youth deer hunter. The other is in early August and is only for beginning hunters, namely those that have harvested no more than one deer in their hunting career.

To be eligible to apply for these private lands youth hunts, youth must have completed their hunter education requirements prior to applying and must be 12-17 years old at the time of their scheduled hunt.

Every participant must have an adult (licensed or unlicensed) who is at least 21 years of age accompanying them on the hunt. Do not list any hunt that you are not interested in or know in advance you cannot attend.

How to Apply

To apply for a hunt, youth applicants must create and/or log in to their own Go Outdoors Oklahoma license account at GoOutdoorsOklahoma.com and apply with the following information:

• Accompanying adult’s first and last name*
• Accompanying adult’s telephone number
• Accompanying adult’s email address
• List of hunts by order of preference**

Once logged in follow the controlled hunts tile to access the application. 

If You Win

All applicants will receive an email notification on or before August 28. Applicants that were successfully drawn will need to sign-in to their Go Outdoors Oklahoma license account to purchase their 2024 Youth Super Hunting License, unless already in possession of one, or in possession of an Oklahoma lifetime hunting license, and receive specific information about their hunt within their GoOutdoorsOK profile.
