Hunting luck, it is said, occurs when preparation meets opportunity. The Natural State welcomes you to enjoy Arkansas hunting! The old Arkansas state motto still holds true - especially for hunters - because The Natural State is well populated by a wide variety of Arkansas wildlife found on several million acres of public lands.
Big game hunting is popular in Arkansas. The state has a herd of whitetail deer, estimated at one million animals, plus black bear and elk. Liberal regulations for big game hunting seasons are set for archery, crossbow, muzzleloaders and modern guns.
Arkansas is also famed for small game hunting, and duck hunting along the famous Mississippi Flyway in the Arkansas Delta is prime fare! For hunting seasons, regulations, licenses, permits and guides, visit the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.
