Deer Season Has Arrived In Arkansas!

Yes…Saturday, November 10th signals the opening of modern gun deer season in Arkansas, much to the delight of thousands of hunters! This is the day that some have waited for all year. Some will skip on the family vacation during the year, just so they can save their vacation time to spend with their buddies at deer camp.

All week long I’ve noticed trucks and trailers and campers, loaded to the gills with anything and everything that might be used at camp. There are ATV’s, generators, refrigerators, deer stands, tents and just about anything else you can think of. It’s truly a time of the year that so many look forward to.

Deer season in Arkansas is no doubt a boom for the economy as well. The local Walmart will be absolutely flooded with people stocking up for their trip. The season has to be a welcome time of year for the smaller, rural communities as well. Little “mom & pop” stores will likely do more business in the next couple of weeks, than they’ve done all year!

As the whitetail deer population in Arkansas has risen over the years, so has the number of hunters. With all those folks in the woods toting guns, accidents are likely to happen. We can only hope and pray that everyone out there has a fun, safe and enjoyable trip to the woods!

I hope to install a photo gallery here soon so that I can post pictures from those that would like to get their trophies posted on the web. Who knows…I might even post a picture of my own this year?

To all hunters…be safe and have a great time!

For more information on hunting and fishing in Arkansas, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC), has a great website that I encourage you to visit.

    5. Deer meat taste great fried or grilled. With a little bit of marinade it will taste great.

    8. Deer meat definitely has a distinct wild taste to it, you’ll never confuse it for anything else.

    I can’t wait for Deer season next year, as I haven’t had time this year to go.

    10. I absolutely love hunting…especially dear hunting. Never made it to Arkansas yet. I would love to do so one day. I am stuck with Utah for now. Deer meat does have a distinct taste to it. It is very tasty.

    11. It’s a shame that the number of hunters has been going down. We need to make sure that this sport is never lost so the younger generation can find the joy in it as we do.

    16. It’s like another Christmas, isn’t it.

    There are usually three Christmas’es a year.

    1 is when hunting season starts.
    2 is when football season starts.
    3 is the actual Christmas.
