Who is eligible for a Crossbow Permit in Oklahoma and if eligible how can a person get one ?


The Wildlife Department no longer issues crossbow permits.

Hunters who have a permanent disability to the extent that they cannot use a conventional longbow, as certified by a physician licensed to practice in Oklahoma or bordering state, may hunt with a crossbow.

A person who qualifies to use a crossbow shall have in their possession while in the field written evidence of such certification.

You will need to go to Oklahoma Department of Wildlife's website and download a form that your doctor can fill out and then carry that form with you in the field, while hunting with your crossbow.

Hunters with existing permits (lifetime crossbow permit) may use it for as long as the hunter hunts.

You can also carry your expired crossbow permit as proof of permanent disability instead of a new letter (since you had to have proof to get the crossbow license in the first place).
