Diseased Deer Found Near OK Border

A white-tailed deer in southwestern Arkansas within four miles of the Oklahoma border has tested positive for chronic wasting disease (CWD). Although not inside of Oklahoma borders, due to the proximity, the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) announced late this afternoon that it has activated the next stage of the CWD Response Plan jointly produced with the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry.

“With the ability of deer to easily travel many miles in a day, the CWD Response Plan dictates that we respond to this finding as if it were found in Oklahoma” said Joey McAllister, Wildlife Programs Supervisor with ODWC. “We will be working through our response plan, and our ultimate goal is to ensure healthy and well-managed deer with as little impact to either the resource or our constituents as possible.”

Donate Venison: Get Bonus Season

Oklahoma’s 2025 holiday antlerless deer gun season will open Dec. 18 and run through Dec. 31 across most of the state. Hunters are urged to get outdoors during the last two weeks of the year and harvest one or two antlerless white-tailed deer — if not for themselves then for the thousands of hungry people in need through the Hunters Against Hunger (HAH) program.

Deer taken during the holiday antlerless season are considered bonus deer, which are in addition to a hunter’s aggregate deer limit from the other regular deer seasons. Hunters holding the appropriate base hunting license and a deer gun season license (unless exempt) may participate in the holiday antlerless season, even if they have already harvested their combined season limit of deer.
