Miller County, Arkansas Hunting

Which deer zone applies in Miller County

AGFC's 2026-27 county list puts Miller County entirely inside Deer Zone 15; 3 other counties share that zone. Modern gun season opens November 14 and its first window closes December 13, then the Christmas hunt adds December 26 through 28. In Deer Zone 15 the alternative firearms dates are October 17 through 25, plus three December days in Deer Zone 15.

Running deer with dogs is allowed in Deer Zone 15 during the dates in the table; nonresidents also need the $100 Nonresident Hunting Dog Owner's Permit and may use dogs only in the last nine days of the regular gun season. AGFC's antler rule for this county reads as no antler minimum. Button bucks count as antlerless deer, the statewide cap is six deer with two antlered bucks, and the youth modern gun hunts fall on November 7 to 8 and January 2 to 3.
