nnieoakley; I live in zone 11 outside Mena,up in the Ouchita Mts. I hunt here and also do alot of bow hunting in area 13 in Howard County. It should really start getting good with the cold front that's coming in this week. I've been seeing lots of small spikes and forkies in Howard County. Sure is going to be alot more comfortable sitting in my tree lounge with my carbon suit on and it being 60 degrees instead of 80 plus degrees out!!!!! Good luck with your season!!!! Bust that big ole boy!!!!!
