Arkansas hunters
Has anybody ever hunted holland bottoms wma?Is it worth the trip out there?I was wanting to go out there and try to bowhunt and was thinking that it might be good since they don't have a modern gun season.
Thanks for any input

RE: Arkansas hunters
Do you mean Holla Bend??
Been there twice, killed a spike first time and an 8 pt second time, that was 7 or 8 years ago and I aint ever been back. Don't ask me why..
I have a buddy that lives in Clarksville. His house borders Holla Bend. He says there are some good bucks in there and bunches of 'em

A killer buck was killed by a guy who works at ANO with my dad in 99. Number two state non-typical record.
If you can get back in on Holla Bend where hunting pressure is light than you should be able to get a good deer.
You'll probably come through Russellville to get there. If you do, send me an email and we'll meet up.
Oh yeah, if you are talking about Holla Bend, it's not a WMA, it's a National Refuge. To get into it you have to have duck stamps purchased and it's bow only.

RE: Arkansas hunters
I also work at ANO, and Reed's (I think thats he's last name) buck was a monster buck. I hunt holla bend most of the time but, its not as good as it used to be, they used to sell about 500 permits a year this year they sold about 300, but that still to many hunters on 7000acres. I have not killed anything this yeat out there but it can be goed at times. The season only goes to Nov. 30 so it's about over.
Kmhughes may be talking about some other place becouse i've herd of holland bottoms before but not sure if it was in arknsas but I think it was./....
