Public Land and Free hog hunts?

[robbcayman]

I live in Oklahoma and there is not a hog hunting license. Then can I go on Public property and take a hog anytime I want??

[Jim_IV]

yes as long as you have a hunting license. make sure if you go on public land that it isnt type 2 because you must have a special permit

Robb, here is the OK huntingrules on hogs. This is from the 2007-08 OK Hunting Regs.

during those deer seasons listed above.

Thanks Falcon that clears it up for me. I didn't want to do something and get in trouble, and as it turns out I need a license.
