ATTENTION!!! It's just a rumor, but behind every rumor is a little truth. It was brought to our attention today that the Game & Fish in Arkansas might be trying to stop hog hunting with dogs. Just like everyone else that doesn't hog hunt or have any knowledge of HH they see the hunters as the problem. Let's stand behind our hog hunting brothers and sisters in the state of Arkansas. If you can help them fight this please do so. We will do all we can that's for sure. Your state and rights could be next.

Only a Rumor!

I just got off the phone with the Director of Wildlife Mgt. who said that there was a Public request to "Stop all Hog Hunting" on WMAs in AR before a MGT committee. No debate or hearing had been done or Votes taken.

Nothing has been mentioned, discussed or proposed as limiting or to stop Hog Hunting in any manner on Private Land. Just the opposite as Hogs are considered Vermin a d taking them in ANY LEGAL manner is encouraged!

Arkansas Fish and Game has been the most "Common Sensed" wildlife agency we deal with each year. That has not changed!
