What’s the Statewide Seasonal Deer Limit in Arkansas? Six

What is the statewide seasonal deer limit this year?

Six.

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission rules for the 2012-13 hunting season include a maximum of six deer that can be taken by a hunter, as long as he or she does not go over the limit for any zone. Only two of the statewide limit of six can be legal bucks.

And, yes, you can kill one zone’s limit of bucks or does then go to another zone and kill more deer – up to that statewide maximum of six.

A wildlife management zone or a national wildlife refuge is a separate zone. A hunter can get a limit of deer on a WMA, go to nearby private land and take more deer – up to a total of six.

Arkansas Game and Fish Commission

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission plays an important role in keeping The Natural State true to its name. During the last 100 years, the agency has overseen the protection, conservation and preservation of various species of fish and wildlife in Arkansas. This is done through habitat management, fish stocking, hunting and fishing regulations, and a host of other programs.
