Unusual buck. Congratulations. I have never known deer to eat bois d’arc fruits. I have a lot of them. Squirrels eat some. Rest lay there and rot.

We can legally take the elk if in deer season. I have a neighbor who has killed a spike. I have a letter from g&f giving me permission any time. I saw a cow elk in august, about 15 minutes before dark, on a 100 degree day. I didnt like my odds with the .223 I was carrying. Previous owner had...

That is a good question. I bought some of my land across the road when it sold. The original landowner wanted to keep the main block whole. I came within a hair of buying it myself and chickened out. The 25 guys who used to hunt it some could have easily bought it - but I think most - me...

What I see most of the time here, is large acreage landowners selling property when they get too old to manage it and the land is usually split and bought by existing neighbors with some odd pieces going to new landowners. That is exactly how I bought my land. But when I bought my land, the main...

Thank you😎

Are you talking state in general - state income tax, state sales tax, real property tax on vehicles, boats, trailers, whatever else, or just the minor expenses of a NR hunting license?

Are you saying that a resident who would be likely to own your land if you didnt would be likely to be one of the families with their kids on free lunch?

Lets be realistic. I bought my land from four different landowners - who would have put me to shame what they contribute combined, to the economy if they never thought about deer hunting. Do you honestly think that you and your family contribute more to the state and local economy as a non...

I dont know - not down here - but in other areas of AR, plenty of NR buy land who have never owned a gun in their life - and they are taking hunting land from residents. North AR and North GA full of them. I am talking the financial contribution to the state, county, and local economy. I...

I am not even talking wealthy landowner. I am talking any full time non wealthy landowner. I am not wealthy by any means - probably not near what a lot of the guys on this forum make. I am not talking about snap recipients in little rock or my land being subdivided into three acre lots - i am...

Do you think a subdivision of 20 houses would pay less than you in local taxes of contribution to the local economy? I agree, I am above a lot of locals in income and expentiture. I am not above the combined income and expenditure of 5 of my 10/20 acre neighbors with kids in school. There is...

Ask the tax collectors in rural podunk sevier county AR. You arent comparing apples to apples - you are comparing apples to watermelons.

No way a non resident pays more than me as a 12 month resident to the local economy - no way.

I dont know the dollars and cents of it - but the less contribution to the county economy by a NR - the more a resident landowner will eventually be tasked with paying. Lets say all of a sudden 5% of land in a county was bought by NR owners. Where is the county going to make up that millage and...

Not many NR landowners here, but one right across the road from me - 1400 acres. 25 years ago probably 25 different residents hunting it for turkeys, deer, ducks, and hogs. 20 years ago a NR bought it and high fenced it. To my knowledge, a resident never hunted the place since then, and it has...

I would go back to shooting spikes in a second if we could also go back o shooting the quail, rabbits, ducks, and turkeys like we were killing in those days - but those animals are either gone or greatly diminished here. We are a the peak of deer hunting in my lifetime where I live. I may not...

I have heard some folks say hardly anything eats an ehd killed deer. I dont know about a cwd deer - but there is no shooting a deer this eve and recovering tomorrow morn unless you are cooking bone broth. Pic below is what a single trapper caught in one day in Arkansas yesterday

There was a thread on here about the AR cwd study not long ago - a youtube video. It is worth a watch

I have the answer to your problems. Move to a location that grows small deer, almost no small game, no pretty mountains, no row crop, very few non residents, hot as hell 8 months out of the year. Did I say Very few NR. Lower land prices. Red country through and through. I am pretty sure the rest...

I have had a few - but will tell one where I was the trespasser. Was bird hunting western nebraska. Staying at the motel of the guy who owned Ole’s Big Game Steakhouse and Lounge in Paxton, Nebraska. He gave us a map of different parcels of land he leased or arranged a deal with the landowner...
