Oklahoma has allowed permitless carry since November 2019 for adults 21 and over, and 18 to 20-year-olds with military service, openly or concealed. Schools, courthouses, government buildings and posted property remain off limits. The Self-Defense Act licence is still issued by the OSBI through the Pittsburg County Sheriff and is worth holding for reciprocity.
Oklahoma's deer gun season opens on the third Saturday in November and runs sixteen days, with muzzleloader in late October and archery from October 1 to mid-January. Feral hogs may be taken year-round on private land, day and night. Centerfire rifles, shotguns, muzzleloaders and handguns are legal statewide, and antlerless days vary by zone.
Pittsburg County is the western edge of the Ouachitas with the Army ammunition plant south of town, deer gun season from the third Saturday in November and hogs year-round on private land.
The Atoka WMA range to the south-west is the nearest state facility, and the Ouachita hills are deer and hog country for practical rifles.
These ranges are run by or officially listed by a state wildlife agency, a state forest or a national forest. Most ask for a hunting licence, a range permit or a small day fee, and hours change with the season, so check the agency page before you drive out to test a trigger.
