Hunting and Fishing on the Reservation

Choctaw tribal members may hunt and fish within the Choctaw Nation reservation and participating tribe’s reservations under the Wildlife Reciprocity Agreement using their tribal membership card.

If you receive a ticket from an Oklahoma game warden for not having a state issued hunting/fishing license while hunting within the Choctaw Nation boundaries, contact the Choctaw Nation Legal Department via the Member Legal Assistance webpage.

For more information on hunting and fishing on the reservation, visit the Hunting and Fishing service page.

Tribal members must report harvest of game via the Chahta Achvffa member portal.
