Elk, bear and CWD notes for Greer County

Where Greer County fits for elk

For elk, ODWC places Greer County in the Southwest Zone, a private-land-only zone that needs written permission from the owner. The elk quota set for 2026-27 reads Southwest Zone 30; elk must be reported through E-Check within 24 hours.

Southwest Zone: Private lands south of I-40 and west of I-35, excluding Caddo, Comanche and Kiowa (Special Southwest Zone).

Some Greer County hunters take mule deer, 1 (2022) and 1 (2023), under the same dates and combined limit as whitetails.

No CWD Selective Surveillance Area reaches Greer County, so the on-site processing rule does not apply, but the statewide ban on importing whole cervid carcasses does.

Elk zones and quotas from the ODWC elk regulations; bear area from the ODWC bear page; pronghorn from the ODWC antelope page; CWD areas and rules from the ODWC SSA page and ODWC CWD page; harvest figures from the ODWC Big Game Harvest Reports. Checked November 3, 2026.
