    Compound Bows vs. Crossbows vs. Rifles

    I guess I'll throw in my 2 cents and keep in mind that this is my personal reasoning and not meant to reflect on anyone else. I'm a live and let live kind of guy. I hunt with an old Horton crossbow that my father inlaw gave me. I've killed 4 deer and a bear with it and they've all been at 15...

    Utah trail camera use HB 295, lied to?

    If that's what science says is best for the current status of the population is then yes. Isn't always the case though. In many places management agencies need young bucks and does reduced and they struggle to get hunters to comply because pappy said you only shoot big bucks so biologists be...

    Arkansas Public Land Black Bear

    Great Job Jacob! I got my first bear in AR this year too. I did a bait on my property. Corn, corn with molasses, and oats with fryer grease. You are correct the meat is delicious - better than venison in my opinion - also got a bunch of good oil by rendering the fat. As far as the quota goes...

    Arkansas public land issue

    Thanks bakarma6. We have been working really hard. The media has picked it up now and it's starting to "make it's own gravy" so to speak. I think the story will have a happy ending. https://www.nwaonline.com/news/2020/sep/23/ua-land-sale-questioned-by-critics/

    Arkansas public land issue

    It's actually state senator Caldwell that wants to propose the legislation to purchase the land and file the injunction to delay the sale if needed. It looks now like the sale will not have congressional support and the fbi is investigating the sale so I don't think the injunction will be...

    Arkansas public land issue

    The land was deeded from the USFS. Our local BHA chapter has been working non stop on this. My understanding is that Boozeman is aligned with Crawford to propose a bill in January that would purchase the property with state funds and then turn it over to Game and fish. If necessary to stop the...

    Arkansas public land issue

    It does require congressional approval. The sale is under contract awaiting that approval. Unless the University alters it's course I suspect an injunction will be filed to halt the sale until a buyer/option can be found to keep public access in perpetuity.

    Arkansas public land issue

    We've got over 1100 signatures so far. Thanks! Here's a current blog post about the situation. On a side note, the University just bragged about exceeding their latest fundraising goal by raising 1.4 billion. I don't think they desperately need to sell this land to raise money. They can...

    Arkansas public land issue

    There's a lot of conflicting information going around and we (BHA) are trying to gather the true facts but it's been slow going so far. Until then we are putting the word out on what we do know, compiling signatures and working with all of our state legislators. We're in communication with AGFC...

    Do People Eat Mt Lions? - CPW Response

    Not only are our bears delicious in Arkansas the rendered fat makes fabulous cooking oil. Meat care after the kill is important. wllm1313, so with the Sous Vide are you saying that you can kill trichinosis at a lower temperature if you cook it for a long enough time? I'd love to try MR bear...

    Missouri proposes black bear hunting season.

    There might be a few situations where 10 pm is difficult. A lot of bears in Arkansas are shot at last light. Our bears like the thickest nastiest terrain and it can be hard to track one in the dark without a dog. We have 24 hours to check ours in by phone or online but have to paper tag...

    Share your efforts getting new people into hunting!

    My state BHA chapter is partnering with the USFS and set up some handicap accessible blinds on FS land and we are doing a mobility impaired hunting program. I also mentored 2 new hunters through BHA last fall.
