The bill establishes a new regulation regarding the daily harvest limit for quail in Oklahoma, specifically capping the number of quail that a licensed hunter can bag or possess to seven (7) per day. This new provision will be codified as Section 5-401.1 of Title 29 in the Oklahoma Statutes. Additionally, the bill exempts individuals hunting in commercial upland game areas from this daily limit, allowing them to operate under different regulations.
The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025. This bill aims to manage quail populations more effectively while still accommodating commercial hunting operations.
