Season Dates, Bag Limits, and License Info

Every hunter is responsible for studying and knowing the Arkansas laws relating to hunting. You can visit this website to learn everything that you need to know.

For all of the out-of-state hunters, I encourage you to buy your license online WELL IN ADVANCE. If you will need Hunter Education, from what I understand the state of Arkansas honors the Texas program, and if you were born after 1968 then you probably will not be allowed to buy a license without it.

Here is the website to purchase a license.

When you buy it you will need to know which dates you will be hunting. I have provided all of the information you will need on this blog site.

Cape skin, and quarter a deer without gutting it.

There are a lot of impressive things about this video.

• The star of the show cracks me up with the way he tawks.
• Look at the size of that deer. That is one fat buck. The tenderloins on this deer are bigger than the backstrap of that little doe I killed last year.
• He quarters that deer without ever gutting it.

The wind is blowing in the mic for a lot of the video but you still get the idea.

BBHE 2015 Hunting Dates

Hear ye hear ye!

We are finalizing the dates for Buzzard Bluff Hunting Extravaganza 2015.

This year the advance team (Rob, Martin, and Kit) will be converging in Dallas on November 11th to stock supplies and load the trailer.

We will depart Dallas early on the 12th for Buzzard Bluff to set up camp (our new tent).

The 13th will be spent scouting and setting up all deer blinds.

Opening day of the season is November 14th.

We will be hunting from the 14th to the 18th.

On the 19th we will break camp and return to Dallas.

Rob and Martin will fly home on the 20th.

For those of you planning on attending the hunt for a weekend only, those hunting dates are the 14th and 15th. You should probably plan on arriving on the 13th.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Sporting Clays

05/30/15
I took Madeline and Alicia to a full day course to learn how to shoot sporting clays. I thought that I would dominate the course..... until I saw first-hand how shooting is a diminishing skill. Unlike riding a bike, shooting clays is actually a skill that goes away over time. Madeline was the star of this show.
