During the Oklahoma youth deer gun season Oct. 16-18, hunters under 18 years of age can head into the woods with an adult mentor before other deer gun hunters. These youth days offer an excellent opportunity for seasoned sportsmen and women to show a young person the ins and out of hunting according to the Wildlife Department. Oklahoma’s deer muzzleloader season this year runs from Oct. 24 – Nov. 1.
Hunters, firearms owners and people who enjoy the shooting sports have yet another place to practice with their firearms. The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is pleased to announce the public opening of a new shooting range at Copan Wildlife Management Area, about 13 miles north of Bartlesville, Oklahoma.
“We are thrilled to be able to open yet another new range for the enjoyment of firearms and archery shooters alike,” said Communication and Education Supervisor Lance Meek.
