re: Bluegill and Crappie Lures?

All those lakes are stocked by the POA, not game & fish so you never really know what you'll catch. I've caught flathead and rainbow trout in one of them. You gave some solid advice for going off maps
I'm out by Gravette but I have a BV poa card. I think the bream fishing is better than crappie in those lakes.

Eucha (and Grand) over in Oklahoma are better for crappie imo
Lots of public land, lots of golf courses, very good fishing (Oauchita, Millwood, Blue Mountain). Tornados and flash floods are the most common issues.

You don't have to get far-off I-30 before it gets rural. You'll probably have to go to Little Rock for health care.

My family that's moved there for retirement all love it
You're gonna need a second cat.

Go down to the local shelter and adopt the meanest tomcat they have. He will likely run the other cat off. Or they may become best friends. It's really the only option you have
I bought a Millennium m300 tree seat and have been using it more than my saddle this year.

Yes, you will have less vantage than in a tree but it's really comfortable, can be set up in less than a minute and only 4lbs
OK non resident licenses increased last year. $500 license plus $200 rifle permit now. The rifle/muzzleloader/archery permits are now separate as well

I did a falconry class at the Biltmore before covid. Having a hawk take off and land on your arm was a cool experience

The boost plus is $99.95 on Amazon currently.

But yes, if you need one for a HD truck or bigger tractor they are 2-3x that
No I didn't clap for Stony Brook. Those games were so bad I didn't even go to Fred's after

Yes I'm aware. I was in school the same time as Gausman and was at the Stony Brook Super. I guess my question was why he came to LSU? I assumed he was from LA or TX

Does Gausman have LSU or Louisiana ties? Somehow I just realized he's from Colorado
For sure. I think the dividing line is the introduction of the four door wrangler.

My TJ has 3 pedals so no legs outside the vehicle for me.

re: Kitty cat killed in Arkansas

I think there was a cat killed in Arkansas or Missouri a while back and they traced it back to the Black Hills in South Dakota
I think I heard that both of Mendoza's parents are doctors. Dude is definitely bright
Yes, Arkansas Game and Fish brought nuisance bears down from Minnesota and Manitoba for a 10 year period in the 1950s-60s.

This is a good Clay Newcomb article about it when he was a magazine publisher

AR Bears
Campers up here do zero preparation for bears. Couple that with the population/popularity increase of the ozarks and a bear numbers climbing towards 8,000 I'm surprised it took this long
The only issue I've seen that's somewhat prevalent is the secondary air injection pump failing.

There's an aftermarket company that makes a plug and play bypass for it. I think it's about $500 and a novice mechanic could install

270. Tikka, bergara, savage etc all have good bolt options
Saw a huge otter on the bridge by my house in NW Arkansas. I thought it was odd since you can easily go under along the creek
