Arkansas Game and Fish Commission

If you are a hunter, fisherman (or fisherwoman), boater, or just an interested wildlife observer, you need to check out the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission web site.

This is your one-stop shop for hunting licenses, permits, and regulations. You can apply for permits and licenses on-line (2009 Deer season permit applications are due July 1st). Did you know that feral hogs are a nuisance animal, and can be hunted during open hunting season? The hunting page has information about them, and more.

The web site also has information for people interested in conservation and wildlife. See a bird you can't identify? Want to know what kinds of mammals are common in Arkansas? Want to know where to fish for Smallmouth bass? This web site will help you.

It also provides information about upcoming events and public meetings relating to hunting, fishing, boating and conservation.
