Stupid Oklahoma Tagging Rule
Alright this is the deal. In Oklahoma you are allowed 4 deer with a bow 2 bucks and 2 does. You are allowed 2 deer with a rifle for a grand total of 6 deer (3 antlered and 3 antlerless). It is also legal to fill gun tags with your bow. So, I shot a buck a few weeks ago and another last tuesday. The second buck was killed during gun season (and bow season). So, when I checked the deer in, I told the lady I killed it with my bow.
So I begin wondering if I am still legal to take another buck with my bow after gun season. I call the game warden today to ask and he tells me that I cannot shoot another buck unless it is during gun season and that I have to tag it with a gun tag. I asked him, "so if I kill it with my bow, I have to tell the person that checks it in that I killed it with a gun?" he said that was correct. I'm supposed to lie to the check station? Is it me or is this ridiculous?
