Little - Keep Trees

If you love outdoor recreation in terms of fishing
and hunting, it doesn’t get any better than Arkansas.
Some 600,000 acres of lakes and more than 9,000
miles of flowing rivers and streams hold something for
just about every angler. Extensive public lands,
including Ozark and Ouachita National Forest, provide
a variety of opportunities for hunting.
Military members are further benefited by the state
of Arkansas in terms of hunting and fishing. Regardless
of where you are from, if you are permanently stationed
in Arkansas, you qualify for the necessary licenses at
resident rates. Thus a fishing license with a trout permit
will cost all of $15.50. A hunting license complete with
four deer tags and four turkey tags is only $25.
The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission also
makes it easy for you to determine where to go. Their
website, www.agfc.com, is complete with interactive
maps, up-to-the-minute fishing reports and much,
much more. A few minutes or a few hours spent on this
website will likely yield big dividends in terms of fish or
wild game for the dinner table. Fishing season never
closes; it is open year round. For a comprehensive list
of hunting seasons broken down by species, go to
www.agfc.com/hunting/huntingsummary.aspx.
The only thing missing from this list will be waterfowl
seasons, which are set by the federal government. Since
Arkansas is highly regarded by duck and goose hunters
the world over, it’s probably worth your time to check out:
