Have at it👍

I believe I would have as many deer with just the food plots. I dont believe they would spend quite as much time on my land without bait. I primarily bait to keep more deer on my place for more time as opposed to them spending as much time at the neighbors feeders. For me, bait is utilized far...

I agree 100%. No telling what percentage our deer harvest would drop. I have 30 acres of food plots, so would help me immensely - except after a couple years, probably couldnt drive down the road without hitting a deer.

Our pictures have really taken a dive last four weeks. I have a corn feeder - a spinner - 400 yards from house - that sits in the edge of a two acre food plot. Have not had a deer visit that feeder in three weeks. Had a dozen everyday does there. Not a blade of wheat has been eaten in the food...

It has been 55 years ago, but we used to hunt on the Oconee River in GA. We would hunt almost every weekend for eight weeks and might see four or five deer. Even on my place now, 15 years ago, we would go three or four hunts and not see a doe. We knew the neighbors were killing a few. We...

I read on this forum about hunting and not seeing a deer for days. Depending on which stand I hunt on my place, I expect to see from 2 or 3 to 15 or more. I know everywhere is different. If I went several days hunting without seeing a deer - I would quit shooting them. I would expect to see a...

The big concern, here - would hunters kill enough deer with our abundance of cover. We have a lot 3000/4000 acre leases - all in early successional growth with almost no hardwood. Our regs allow baiting during season in cwd zones. Thinking by our g&f, if they outlawed baiting - hunters wouldnt...

If they would outlaw baiting in AR - I would save $1000’s of dollars a year, and probably drive by five feeders on my property line. If the neighbors would truly stop baiting - it would make a huge difference in number of deer. I dont think it would save many already mature bucks, but it would...

Do you really think a majority would quit baiting if it became illegal. MO does not allow baiting, yet every walmart has two head high pallets of corn. Are wives grinding that to make cornmeal for cornbread?😎

Squirrels are probably the most difficult to keep off my fruit trees. Good luck

In reference, AR usually has a total deer harvest of 190,000 to 200,000. Youth harvest 9000-11000. But also realize, AR allows baiting and that makes a big difference - especially for youth hunters. The MO youth harvest does seem a little high

To what do you attribute the large drop in harvest from a few years back?

I know 40 years ago, I heard a lot more shooting. Not that many people participated in archery sports, ml season was present, but not that many folks participated in that. A lot of the land in my area was commercial timberland - open to the public. Dog hunting was extremely popular. No antler...

I kind of look at it like you dont have to go to another state to hunt. I wish our state would triple the cost of waterfowl licenses and cut it to about ten days a year. On residents have taken over the public ground. They drive lease prices up. They drive land prices up. Yes, that is good for...

Here, that works in reverse. If you are a small landowner you want a larger landowner to be your next door neighbor - one who likes to manage deer. In reality, how much management can a 15 acre landowner do - especially one who lives on his property and is just scraping by financially. I have 14...

Arkansas NR 3 day deer license for one deer is $175

Are non resident hunters more numerous now with a draw than before the draw. I know a number of AR hunters who lease in KS and dont get drawn to hunt their own lease. They claim that did not used to happen?

In the cwd areas, they greatly relax restrictions, remove apr’s, increase bag limits and season length. I think the rest of the state they are providing additional “opportunity” - to lower deer density before cwd gets there.

I agree - hunter access is becoming more and more a problem. Everything is posted or leased. I have a lot of neighbors who hunt their 15 acres because the timber company land that was once open hunting land has all been leased. These local folks were the first to lease, but they got priced out...

I would really like to have a better picture of this deer. How much better is the quality on the card in the camera
