The ODWC zone layer puts Harper OLAP tract H017 in antlerless Zone 2 (Muzzleloader 4, gun 4). Zone lines follow roads, so near a boundary the ODWC antlerless zone map decides. The season cap is six deer combined, two antlered at most; 3 inches of antler makes a deer antlered. The Northwest Zone takes in Harper County, but OLAP rules keep elk hunters off Harper OLAP tract H017. Harper County is an open fall gun turkey county. The pheasant area takes in the whole county. Harper County lies wholly or partly west of I-35, where sandhill crane and jackrabbit seasons apply.
