Oklahoma City deer zone and county rules
Before hunting out of Oklahoma City, find the county and zone you will stand in; its row sets the limits.
| County | Antlerless zone | Does ML / gun | Elk zone | Fall gun turkey | Also |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oklahoma County town county | 6 | 2/2 | Northwest, Northeast, Southeast, Southwest | Open | Crane, jackrabbit |
| Pottawatomie County | 5, 6 | 2/2; 2/2 | Northeast, Southeast | Open | – |
| Logan County | 2, 6 | 4/4; 2/2 | Northwest, Northeast | Open | Pheasant N of SH 51, Crane, jackrabbit |
| Cleveland County | 6 | 2/2 | Southeast, Southwest | Open | Crane, jackrabbit |
| Grady County | 6, 8 | 2/2; 4/4 | Southwest | Open | Crane, jackrabbit |
By the ODWC map, Oklahoma County lies wholly in Zone 6 for antlerless deer. (Zone 6; official zone map.) Antlerless deer near Oklahoma City: Zone 6: 2 antlerless by muzzleloader and 2 by gun. Six deer in all, two antlered at most: that is the combined archery, youth, muzzleloader and gun limit. Gun deer season covers November 21 to December 6, 2026, and the holiday antlerless season December 18 to December 31. Elk hunting in Oklahoma County is private land only, with written permission, in the Northwest Zone, Northeast Zone, Southeast Zone and Southwest Zone; the Northwest Zone reads "Private lands north of I-40 and west of I-35, excluding the Panhandle and Special Northwest zones" and carries a zone quota of 8. (Northwest Zone, Northeast Zone, Southeast Zone, Southwest Zone.) In Oklahoma County, fall gun turkey runs October 31 through November 20, alongside statewide fall archery. No published line separates Zone 1 from Zone 2, and both run the same duck dates in Oklahoma County. Oklahoma County lies at least partly west of I-35, so sandhill crane (October 17 to January 17, 2027) and jackrabbit are open there. On Department lands, including Corps land licensed to ODWC, placing or hunting over bait is unlawful.
Zones from the ODWC antlerless deer zone map (county shares are a GIS overlay; the legal line is the road), ODWC elk zones, the bear area, fall turkey counties, the pheasant area, waterfowl zones, the crane area and the CWD surveillance areas; limits and baiting from the 2026-2027 Oklahoma Fishing and Hunting Regulations and ODWC turkey regulations. Checked November 3, 2026.
