The Oklahoma Wildlife Department has posted 2026-27 quail and pheasant outlooks on its website. Quail season opens November 14 statewide, while pheasant season opens December 1 in selected northern counties.

Hunters must consult the current Fishing and Hunting Regulations, as dates, harvest limits, and pheasant boundaries can change from year to year. The department site wildlifedepartment.com also lists upland bird tips and access details for wildlife management areas plus OLAP public lands. Its Hunting Resources pages cover those species and other Oklahoma game.
