Explore creeks and pastures in new (or renewed) ways this fall by going small game hunting. Squirrels and rabbits might be the stuff of your earliest hunting memories, but the opportunity to hunt these small mammals is still plentiful. And plenty of sportsmen are still taking advantage. According to the Wildlife Department's 2023 Game Harvest Survey, over 16,000 hunters targeted fox squirrels last year, while over 17,000 hunted for the smaller gray squirrel. Nearly 10,000 hunters targeted cottontails, swamp rabbits, and jackrabbits.
With long seasons and widespread public access at Wildlife Management Areas or on lands available through the Oklahoma Land Access Program, you need only carve out the time to go. Check out our small game guide, and take part in the fun while the fall weather is just right for small game hunting.
