Who lives in Texas and owns Land in Oklahoma

[Redraider]

Just curious on the people that live in Texas and own land in Oklahoma. If you have land that you hunt on do you have to pay the yearly license fee and the deer license like normal out of state hunters? That's like $400/year. Is there anyway around it or is that just part of it? I have a buddy that owns land in Oklahoma but lives in Arkansas. He actually has a big cattle ranch. Just wondering what some pros and cons would be if someone in Texas was to buy land up there. Seems like the land is a little cheaper but there could be other expenses that add up and it's not such a good deal.

I don't....but know people that do. They pay full price for hunting license

You still have to pay the full price, they don't have an exception for non resident landowner

[Redraider]

ok. Thanks. I didn't think they did.

Yep we have land in Oklahoma and have to pay out of state fees. I don’t deer hunt for that reason just get basic hunting license so I can dove hunt and varmit hunt.

This. There is one loop hole of sorts around it but you would have to live in Oklahoma long enough to be classified a resident and then buy a lifetime license. I know of several Texas residents with Oklahoma lifetime license.

They quit selling lifetime non-resident licenses many years ago. I drug my feet one year to long after huntin up there in college a couple years with my Uncle. Coach

Yes that's true, but I wasn't referring to lifetime nonresident license. If you establish residency in Oklahoma you are eligible to buy a lifetime Resident license and it remains valid if you ever move out of state afterwards.

Yup and I have paid $300 a year per archery hunter in my family for many years. It costs me $600 for me and my oldest daughter to hunt, but we can kill 12 deer. 4 bucks and 8 does. We also get to hunt from Oct 1st to Jan 15th. Actually headed up to camp on the land for a week of bow hunting Jan 4th. We never hunt our East Texas land anymore. Very few hunters, beautiful land, quiet, peaceful and tons of great deer.

Nope, no LO exemptions. I pay 900 to 1200 in license up there every year.

Back in the day if you were a resident and owned and hunted your own land you didn't need a license, just had to buy the tags. Has this changed?
