Elk Hunting
Arkansas Game & Fish Commission
Jasper, AR -(Ammoland.com)- Twenty hunters, drawn for coveted public land permits, will be in the field beginning Monday for the second segment of the 2014 Arkansas elk hunt in the rugged Buffalo River country of northwest Arkansas.
The hunt is for five days, ending Friday, Oct. 31. At the same time and under a different format, many hunters will be on private land in Boone, Carroll, Madison, Newton and Searcy counties where landowners received permits from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.
The private land hunt will also end the evening of Oct. 31, or the evening that the 28 elk quota (8 bulls, 20 antlerless) is met; whichever comes first. Boxley Valley, where elk viewing is popular is closed to hunting.
Public land elk permit winners were drawn at the Buffalo River Elk Festival in June from thousands of applications. Both the applications and permits are free. Applications are made online during the month of May.
Public land hunters Oct. 27-31 are:
- Kenneth Brown Sr., Magazine, antlerless permit;
