Should be 239 total… plus the 29 lost listings is 268 .. These should be relisted in 2018. That’s a long way from the 1964 B&C book with a listing of 13+3= 16 total listings…
Hunting is mostly LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION
I would think these type postings from records for Arkansas would be very valuable as a research tool for where to lease or hunt in Arkansas. Where the Management tool worked or failed. Where the DNA might be best or diluted..
If we did not have B&C we would prolly have big buck contests where the racks were judged by a panel …. No ABBC… and no management. No History….
Just saying IMHO B&C is why we have any whitetail deer left to hunt and talk about.
Remember one of my earlier postings listed the origin of Arkansas Deer DNA
Most of the restocking in Arkansas were relocated from within the state ( 3,176)
Only (579) of the Deer relocated in Arkansas were from out of State.. didn’t dilute the DNA much except where there were no Deer…
Arkansas WhiteTail Deer are mostly of the Kansas DNA Odocoileus virginianus macrourus
( Rafinesque) variety.
The ones in Southwest Arkansas near Texarkana have DNA from the Texas Odocolleus virginianus texamus ( Mearns) variety.
The most pure strains of Kansas DNA in Arkansas are the South-east quadrant.
Big Island and the lands between the levies of the Mississippi
No deer were restocked into that area from anywhere.. Even tho some actually swam the Mississippi ( Luther Gifford – Mississippi county 175 3/8 (1994))
Those would have been prolly … Virginia Odocoileus virginlanus virginianus ( Zimmerlan) variety..
The north west section of the state is currently experiencing a Big Buck boom… form the Kansas/Missouri variety.. no restocking up there…
