huntregs is not the law and is not an official edition of any state’s regulations: no state agency writes, reviews, publishes or approves it, and where a page here differs from the agency document it cites, the agency document is the regulation and this page is wrong.
It is an editorial compilation of state agency regulation documents: every row is carried verbatim out of one named document, cited by title, identified by the sha256 of the exact bytes we read, and printed beside the source lines it was read from.
That is the direction that ends in a citation, or in a hunter on ground the state has closed. Read the signals below before you use any row on this page.
Derived by rule from this record's own declared gaps, its own integrity fields and its own rows. It is not a score and there is no confidence number: the counts below count signals, nothing more.
overOVER: the gap names a restriction, requirement, closure or supersession the record does not carry [limit_or_quota='antlerless limit']; a row read without it is broader than the regulation
overOVER: the gap names a restriction, requirement, closure or supersession the record does not carry [obligation='requirement', visibility='hunter orange', tag_check_report='tagging', disease_or_bait='carcass', hours_method_zone='shooting hours']; a row read without it is broader than the regulation
overOVER: the gap names a restriction, requirement, closure or supersession the record does not carry [limit_or_quota='Antlerless limit', not_an_entitlement='may be wrong']; a row read without it is broader than the regulation
overOVER: a restriction/requirement this record does not carry [limit_or_quota='season limit']; the gap ALSO names an opportunity it does not carry [extra_allowance='do not count toward'], so it errs both ways and the dangerous direction is reported
unknowncannot be determined: the gap carries regulation but its description names neither a restriction nor an opportunity in terms this rule can read (kind='cross-references'). Boundary, map and definition gaps land here and belong here — not knowing which unit you are in cuts both ways
unknown2 page boundary/boundaries beside the cited range were never inspected. A table that continues past a citation loses whole rows — the missing rows could be further seasons (under) or the restrictions on the ones published (over), and this is the check five states went OFFLINE for skipping.
carries_regulation flag at face value. A gap mis-declared as non-regulatory is a silent miss.Current through — the document this record was read from, and nothing later than it:
2026-2027 Oklahoma Fishing & Hunting Regulations, Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, PDF pp.38-39 (printed folios 36-37), "DEER" / "SEASON DATES & BAG LIMITS" / "ANTLERLESS DEER ZONES"
We fetched it on 2026-08-08. That is our retrieval date, not a publication date. This record carries no date on which its publisher issued, adopted, amended or last revised that document, so this page states none. Any effective, issue or adoption date the document states of itself is inside the citation above, in the publisher’s own words — nothing here lifts it out or restates it as a fact of ours.
Do not take our word for it. The document every row on this page was read out of is one tap away, and checking us against it is exactly what the citation, the sha256 and the source lines under each row are for.

The copy we read is the one whose sha256 is above; if the publisher has replaced the file since 2026-08-08, yours will not match ours, and that difference is the thing worth knowing.

map
**The ANTLERLESS DEER ZONES map occupies the lower half of printed folio 37 — 33.8% of the page by image area, measured with core.page_graphics.** Zones 1 to 10 are defined ONLY by that map: which Oklahoma counties fall in which zone exists in no text layer on this page or any other page read here. Every per-zone antlerless limit this extraction publishes — one antlerless in Zone 1, four in Zones 2, 7 and 8, two in Zones 3, 4, 5, 6 and 9, one in Zone 10 — therefore says how many and does not say where. Minnesota's zones map exactly.

Not us. Oklahoma’s agency publishes the document this record was read from, and that document — not this page — is where the material above has to be chased:

**Printed folio 35 (PDF page 37) is NOT read.** The deer column opens "For rules on hunter orange, legal hunting methods, public lands, shooting hours, carcass disposal, multiple methods of take, tracking with dogs, and tagging/checking, see Big Game Regulations, pages 35-36". Folio 36 is read here; folio 35 is not. Only there: the legal archery, gun and muzzleloader equipment definitions, the 400-square-inch hunter orange requirement, shooting hours, and the carcass disposal rule. A hunter cannot tell from these rows what they may hunt with or what they must wear.

photo
A photograph of a hunter with a harvested buck occupies the upper right of printed folio 37, credited to Kenzie Sullivan. It carries no regulation. Declared because it is part of the same measured image area as the map below it.

Two blocks on the pages read are ruled out line by line with a reason rather than swept: the YOUTH FALL TURKEY OPPORTUNITY that runs on the youth deer gun dates, and the turkey- and bear-specific half of the CHECKING REQUIREMENTS column. Both are real Oklahoma regulation and this compilation does not carry them.
derived family: scope of the compilation
100.0% of pypdf text lines across PDF pages 38 and 39 (printed folios 36 and 37) -- 162 lines from page 38 and 87 from page 39, counted exactly as pypdf returns them. Page 38's stream puts the DEER section before the BIG GAME material printed above it on the same sheet; both are read.
derived: this percentage is over the units named above, on the pages this record cites. It is not a percentage of the state's regulation. The gaps above are what a full percentage would have to count and cannot.
These are not gaps.
