Who We Are The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation is the state agency responsible for managing fish and wildlife. The ODWC issues hunting and fishing licenses and makes sure the public has important information about outdoor recreation. We enforce rules and regulations and have numerous programs that provide for healthy resources and satisfied customers.

The Wildlife Department receives no general state tax appropriations and is supported by hunting and fishing license fees and federal excise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment.

Our MissionTo manage Oklahoma’s wildlife resources and habitat to provide scientific, educational, aesthetic, economic and recreational benefits for present and future generations of hunters, anglers and others who appreciate wildlife.

The ODWC is a constitutional agency. It was created based on the user-pay, user-benefit principle where hunter and angler license fees fund the operation of the Department.

Did you Know? • The average Oklahoma angler spends 17 days per year fishing.

• The average Oklahoma hunter spends 24 days afield.

• The number of people who hunt in Oklahoma could fill the University of Oklahoma football stadium AND the Oklahoma State University football stadium almost two times, while the number of people who fish in Oklahoma could fill the stadiums four and a half times.

• Opening day of deer season is the state’s biggest single-day recreation attraction. It draws more participants than the busiest day of the Oklahoma State Fair or the Tulsa State Fair.

Recent Accomplishments2006 • New opportunities added for hunters and

trappers. Sportsmen are allowed to take red fox.

paddlefish management program to collect important data, process paddlefish meat for anglers and salvage paddlefish eggs.

• Department began a wetland restoration project at Drummond Flat area to restore a unique wetland habitat.

• Apprentice-designated licenses were created to encourage those who have never hunted to try it with a mentor.

2008• The Lake Record Fish Program was

established to recognize Oklahoma anglers and fish.

• On Nov. 4, Oklahomans voted to amend the state constitution to give all people the right to hunt, trap, fish and take game and fish. It also makes hunting, fishing, and trapping the preferred means to manage certain fish and game animals.

• More than 3,000 acres are opened to public hunting and fishing in LeFlore County’s Cucumber Creek area.

2009• Groundbreaking occurred for the 7,000

square foot Oklahoma Conservation Education and Training Center teaching facility. The new facility will host hunter education and aquatic education classes and Archery in the Schools training.

• Oklahoma opened the first black bear season on October 1st in SE Oklahoma (Latimer, LeFlore, McCurtain and Pushmataha counties).

Deer hunters were given the option of checking their deer in using the Internet for the first time in 2009. The Department continues to explore the best ways to use technology to improve wildlife management across the state.

Oklahoma is an Outdoor PlaygroundOklahoma is one of the most ecologically diverse states in the nation, with more than 760 species of wildlife found here, including:

• Over 350 bird species

• Over 100 mammal species

• Over 170 fish species

The “Sooner State” has: • Over 1 million surface acres of water

• 1,120 square miles of lakes and ponds

• 11,600 miles of shoreline – (more than the Pacific, Atlantic, and Gulf coasts combined)

• 78,500 miles of rivers and streams

Department FundingThe Department remains a non-appropriated, user-pay/user-benefit agency that is funded either directly or indirectly by hunting and fishing license sales. In fiscal year 2009 the Department operated with an estimated $40.5 million in revenue. Specifically, major revenue sources are: annual license sales, $18 million; federal sportfish and wildlife restoration grant revenue, $13.6 million – this income is based on a formula that includes certified number of hunting and fishing licenses sold in the state; interest income, $1.8 million; other wildlife sales, $3.2 million; agriculture and oil leases, $2.7 million; miscellaneous income including donations, $1.2 million.

ODWC FY 09 Revenue (in millions)

Lifetime License Trust Account

• When a lifetime license is sold, the money goes in the lifetime license trust fund. The principal cannot be spent but the interest investment income can be used for operations.

• First lifetime combination license was sold in 1969 for $150.

• $80 million in the trust fund

• 194,751 lifetime licenses sold since 1969.

• More than 50 percent of all licensed hunters / anglers are lifetime license holders and no longer purchase annual licenses.

While hunting and fishing license sales have remained stable over the past several years, the percent of participants relative to the state’s population has decreased.

Hunting and Fishing License Sales $18

Federal Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration Grants $13.6

Interest Income including Lifetime License Fund $1.8

Agriculture and Oil Leases $2.7

Other Wildlife Sales $3.2

Donations and Misc. Income $1.2

Economic Impact“Anglers, hunters and wildlife viewers spend dollars that, in turn, benefit many other industries throughout the state. The resulting economic benefits reach every corner of the state and its economy. Every resident and tourist of Oklahoma benefits from fish and wildlife recreation spending.”

— The 2006 Economic Benefits of Hunting, Fishing and Wildlife Watching in Oklahoma by Thomas Allen & Rob Southwick with Dr. Peggy McKee

Data derived from the 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation, conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Census

The role deer hunters play in the state simply by participating in the outdoors is far-reaching. The total economic effect of deer hunting activity in Oklahoma during 2006 was estimated at nearly $500 million, and the total economic effect from 2006 hunting activity in Oklahoma in general was estimated to be $843 million.

Did you Know? • The top three reasons people fish are for relaxation, to be

close to nature, and to spend time with friends and family.

• One in three Oklahoma citizens hunt or fish and one in three Oklahoma citizens enjoy watching wildlife.

• The 28,142 jobs supported by hunting, fishing and wildlife-viewing in Oklahoma are greater than the state’s third largest employer, Tinker Air Force Base, with 23,000 employees.

• The four fish hatcheries run by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation annually raise and stock about 12 million fish each year.

• Expenditures by hunters and anglers provide an important boost to many rural economies. Migratory bird hunters in OK spent over $34 million dollars in retail sales in 2006.

Last year more than 40,000 people came to the Wildlife Expo to experience hundreds of hands on activities.

ODWC Budget

A Legacy of Conservation• The Wildlife Department was created

as a one-man agency in 1909. The first hunting license cost $1.25 to fund the Department, setting the precedent of a non-appropriated, user-pay / user-benefit agency.

• In 1956, state voters passed a constitutional amendment establishing the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation as the constitutional agency it is today. The amendment was enacted in 1957, and the first board of commissioners was created to oversee the Department’s operation.
