We hunt. We connect.
We change the future.
Oklahoma Youth Hunting Program
The Oklahoma Youth Hunting Program is an organization of sportsmen and women who are dedicated to introducing 10-17 year old non-hunters to the sport of hunting and outdoor experiences. Many Oklahoma teens do not have access to knowledgable mentors to experience the adventure that is big game hunting. That's where we come in. We invite young men and women who have NEVER been hunting before to sign up for a new and exciting experience. You must bring a parent or guardian, but we will take care of the rest! Many generous Volunteers, Landowners, and Sponsors give their time and resources to provide our participants a place to hunt, as well as the food, lodging, equipment, and - most importantly - the expertise and enthusiastic attitude to make it happen.

"My experience this weekend was a lot of fun. Even though the only time we saw deer was Sunday, I still had a lot of fun. We had a very good guide! It was exciting to shoot my first deer and I hope I get to shoot a buck soon"

"I was so excited when my parents signed me up to go on the youth deer hunting trip. I had a great experience that I will always remember. I'm thankful for everyone who helped out with the hunt. It was a great privilege to go on this hunt. Thank you for the great experience!"

"My hunt location was legit. My favorite memories were the first night, I got to shoot a deer and see two more. But spending time overall was the best."

"The youth deer hunt was a great opportunity for my son to learn and experience deer hunting, but it was also a great learning experience for me. The youth hunters were from diverse backgrounds, enjoyed each other, and learned together about hunting and firearms. I am grateful to the Oklahoma Youth Hunting Program for providing this opportunity."
