How can a person get a crossbow permit and who is eligible?
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. Hunters with existing permits (lifetime crossbow permit) may use it for as long as the hunter hunts. If you go to our web site at www.wildlifedepartment.com/apps.htm you will be able to download a form that your doctor can fill out. You can 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).
