RE: Change in Ark. deer rules?
I was beginning to wonder if we had any arkansas folks here anymore. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Well froman is always lurking around.
I am thinking like arbowhntr lots of food keeps them off roads and out of fields. and i too don't like the taste of acorns.
I think they do need to look at areas. i saw 50 deer off one stand in one morning this year. all but two does and the others were scrub bucks. saw big rubs like i had never seen before but didnt see deer that would match the rub. except one 17" 7 pt , good mass and he's dead.
i really think when we have another bad acorn crop year some big mouth folks that have been complaining about seeing no deer are gonna be over run. i hope the suckers eat all their shrubs in their yards!
They are there in those nice timber industry thickets.
But hudge i too see them reducing doe limits(mistake i think). i wish they would cut a week off the long season and give it to us in jan. modern gun. i think that would be nice . i like hunting late in the season. deer move when the novice deer hunters go home cause they are cold and "burnt out". i love it! we'll see i guess. we are the mercy of the AG&F dummys.
