Sign in to contribute

Cimarron County is the westernmost county of the Oklahoma Panhandle and the only county in the state where hunters can pursue pronghorn and mule deer, making it a singular destination for Great Plains mixed-bag hunting. The High Plains tablelands, sandy sage draws, and Black Mesa escarpment — the state high point at 4,973 feet — create habitat found nowhere else in Oklahoma. Ring-necked pheasant, Merriam turkey, and limited-draw pronghorn tags round out a hunting menu more reminiscent of Wyoming or Colorado than Oklahoma.

Terrain & elevation

High Plains tablelands and mesa country, Black Mesa volcanic escarpment at 4973 feet — the state high point, sandy sage draws and canyon breaks, Cimarron River bottomlands with cottonwood timber

Hunting pressure

Low — extreme remoteness, long distance from population centers, and limited public land keep pressure minimal; private ranch access often means exclusive hunting

Tags & permits

Limited-draw pronghorn tags are the signature pursuit; mule deer via draw tags; Merriam turkey OTC in appropriate seasons; whitetail along river bottoms OTC

Species & seasons

Pronghorn is the defining species — draw tags available through the Oklahoma draw system; mule deer inhabit canyon and mesa country around Black Mesa; ring-necked pheasant in grassland sections; Merriam turkey in cottonwood river bottoms and mesa breaks

Highlights

Oklahoma only pronghorn hunting opportunity and one of the few mule deer units in the state; Black Mesa delivers a Colorado Plateau hunting experience unique to the entire state
