Why Homeowners Trust Oklahoma Wildlife Authority
Most people don’t grow up knowing how wildlife behaves, what’s normal, what’s dangerous, or what’s legal — especially in a state like Oklahoma where weather, land use, and animal activity change constantly.
That’s where we come in.
Oklahoma Wildlife Authority exists to give homeowners clear, honest answers about the animals living around their homes, hikikng trails, and water sources without confusing technical language.
Our guides explain:
- What animal you’re likely dealing with
- Why it’s behaving the way it is
- Whether the situation is risky or normal
- What you can safely and legally do next
- How to prevent future problems in a humane way
We combine real-world field experience, public agency guidance, and practical building knowledge to explain wildlife issues in plain English — so you can make smart decisions with confidence.
This site is independent, educational, and focused entirely on helping Oklahoma residents live safely alongside native wildlife.

Real Answers & Practical Wildlife Help — Written for Oklahoma Homeowners
Oklahoma’s wildlife is everywhere — in backyards, attics, garages, and green spaces. As cities and towns grow into natural habitat, encounters between people and animals are becoming more common. Many homeowners search online only to find conflicting, incomplete, or out-of-context advice.
That’s why we write our guides and blog posts.
We publish practical, easy-to-understand content that helps you:
Identify what animal you’re dealing with
Not guesses — clear descriptions, photos, and behavior signs.
Understand why it’s happening
Seasonal patterns, weather impacts, home vulnerabilities, food attractants — we explain why wildlife shows up where you live.
Know what to do next — safely and legally
Each article explains what’s safe to do yourself, what’s best avoided, when laws apply, and where to find licensed help.
Learn how to prevent future issues
From sealing entry points to managing attractants and seasonal behavior, we help you stop problems before they start.
Our blog isn’t just stories — it’s a growing library of trusted, Oklahoma-specific solutions based on real experience and public data.
