Yeah, that isn't followed by many.
nopeeeeeeee.
There are parts of this state that drop tons of deer and don't have a single deer kill reported.
It's quite a sad state of affairs considering how well duck and fish populations are managed by the state.

If the rest of the country pulls their data like Arkansas then the results are extremely flawed.
Arkansas gets their data from 2 places. Deer clubs that are part of DMAP (which obviously are going to be more management minded than other clubs), and The sweet 16 WMAs (these are WMAs that have strict antler restrictions meant to protect bucks less than 3.5 years old.) additionally Arkansas has a 3 point rule so spikes and fork horns, which make up a large percentage of 1.5 year old bucks, aren't being checked when they are killed.

Texas would be higher but for some reason the biologist hate spikes out here. I can't understand having antler restrictions and at the same time it being ok to kill an 80 lbs yearling spike.

As pointed out above... the Arkansas data is EXTREMELY inaccurate..... For the average person checking a deer there is no way for the AGFC to gather any data other than sex and number of points and harvest method.... the data they collected MIGHT represent 50% of the total harvest... MAYBE. so I gotta call BS on that survey....
