I was on the Oklahoma Wildlife Dept. website trying to find the new non-resident regulations for turkey next spring. Noticed they've added a new $100 Non-Resident Game Bird permit for non-residents hunting game birds on WMAs. That effectively makes Oklahoma $349 for a single turkey.

Non-resident annual hunting - $209
Non-resident turkey - $40
Non-resident game bird permit - $100

For a total of $349! To my knowledge, the most expensive tag for a single turkey to date. This bypasses Arkansas's $325.


You can view the non-resident license prices here:

And the new Game Bird Permit regulation here:

The madness knows no end. Other states will take notice and respond accordingly in the future.

And to think a certain subset of turkey hunters helped bring this upon us all. Sad, sad, sad!

I think it's another fee to hunt the public access private land as well.

I'm planning a hunt in Texas this spring.  I spoke with an outfitter in south Texas and he recommended that I schedule my hunt for the 1st week of April.  I originally chose Texas because of the March opener.  I've never hunted Texas before and I've never hunted with an outfitter.  I was Hoping to hear what y'all thought about that.  Maybe the hens are sittin and the gobblers are desperate?  I'm not sure but I'm paranoid about getting ripped off.  I appreciate any advice.  Thank you

General Forum / Billy Buick box call

Last post by Vaughnrp2 - December 14, 2025, 05:22:57 PM

Does anyone know what type of screw Billy used in his box calls? I'm in possession of two of his calls that are missed the screws. I know I could use any old screw but would really like to match what was originally in box.

Thanks
