Gov. Stitt Talks Hunting, Fishing With Outdoor Oklahoma TV, Magazine

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt is a lifelong hunter and angler. He cares deeply about conservation and the wise use of the state’s natural resources, and he realizes the tremendous impact outdoor activities have on the state’s economy.

The governor shared these insights and others in a recent interview with Outdoor Oklahoma magazine and television show, both produced by the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation.

“Oklahoma is such a diverse state when it comes to outdoor opportunities,” Stitt said. “I want to make Oklahoma a Top 10 state that ensures Oklahomans and sportsmen alike can continue to enjoy our rich wildlife and outdoor opportunities.

“We have bighorn sheep and antelope in the Panhandle, black bears in the southeast, and pheasant and quail across the state. We also have elk in Oklahoma, and obviously some world-class deer hunting. We are one of only a couple of states left that actually has a growing hunting population, and our hunting license numbers are increasing.”

The governor’s interview appears in the November/December 2019 issue of Outdoor Oklahoma, celebrating its 75th year of continuous publication as the official Wildlife Department magazine. To view the complete issue online, at click here.
