Chronic Waste Disease (CWD)

CWD is a big deal and slowly spreading through Arkansas. You can read about it here: https://www.agfc.com/en/hunting/big-game/deer/cwd/cwd-arkansas/

So, up until this year, we were in Zone 1A and we were outside of tier 1 on the map. We are now in Zone 6 and we are still outside of tier 1. However, they have created a tier 2 for this year, and we are right dab in the middle of that one.

Here is the good news. Although CWD is headed out way, it isn't here yet. We hunt in Crawford County and there has not been a single reported case of CWD in the county.

Here is the even GOODER news. In an attempt to control the spread, they have increased the bag limits so for the out-of-state hunters (which is everybody in our group), this means one extra deer. AND, they no longer count a button buck towards your bag limit of two bucks. This is especially exciting to me since most of the does I shoot seem to always have a healthy set of balls.

That's all for CWD.

Time to Start Planning BBHE 2020

Kiddos, we won't let something as silly as COOVID stop us from responsibly enjoying deer season. So, as of today, I am happy to announce that BBHE 2020 is ON!!!!!!!!!!! This hunt is going down baby. It's going down like a fat kid on a see-saw.

 Right now, the plan is to travel on the 12th, set up stands and scout on the 13th, and hunt form the 14th through the 20th. We still need to fine-tune these dates. Some time in those days, we will have the 11th annual BBHE 2020 Ribfest. Again, nothing has been finalized. I just want everybody to start getting in the groove and begin planning their time off for the big hunt. We are just 10 weeks out. Kit
