It's actually called an Oklahoma Handgun License, and you can open carry with it, but you still have to have the license to carry during archery season.

Thank you for explaining that part. I am on my phone and wasn't going to type out all that is allowed with the concealed weapon license. (mine was issued in 2011 and is a Concealed Weapons License and new laws permits open carry as well only if you have the license.)
I believe this is correct. I hunt a lot of small game on public land and I know that most WMA's are closed to squirrel and rabbit through the first nine days of deer gun season. There are several though that have deer archery concurrent with small game. Off the top of my head there's Drummond Flats, Mountain Park, Eufala, Kaw....lots of 'em actually.
I don't know about your GW, but ours is a pretty approachable guy. If I have a question about how a regulation might be interpreted I just call and ask him. It's he who will be the one interpreting it in person anyway. That way I know we're on the same page and I don't have to worry about anything. I have yet to have a negative interaction with him and I have been checked by him in the field multiple times, as well as calling him to ask questions.
Best option. ^^^^^
