I hear Rick Evans Grandview Prairie to be first up for a ban in Arkansas 
JK!
Pond Creek NWR effectively banned them several years ago with no personal property left overnight except one deer stand. Have not checked the regs on that this year to see if still in effect. It did really reduce the number of cameras I find in the woods. It also dispersed the hunters some, also. Not so much piling in on one big old buck in one area, now.
I agree that it should be done by area. I dont think in most of the ouachita nat forest there is a problem. We dont have waterholes the wildlife depends on - where hunters line the trees with cameras like out west. I think there are probably a few other, wma’s/nwr’s where it could improve the quality of hunt for the hunter - but overall, I dont think it is that big of a deal like it is out west where you have limited water or limited cover.
