Please provide a little more information so people can determine if your reported issue is correct or not. From internet research (see quote below), Fall turkey season in Oklahoma appears to be one bearded turkey but spring is 3 (see below) unless it is a county that limits hunters to only one or 2 turkeys (per county limit).

I had to research the outfitter location as I don't live in OK and am not familiar with the country or game laws. The outfitter's address is in Mcalester which is in Pittsburg County, a single turkey county for spring turkey season. Unless the outfitter is hunting a ranch in a different county, it would appear to be a 1-turkey limit in his operating area.
