LITTLE ROCK – The application period for Arkansas’s special urban bowhunts for the 2021-22 deer hunting season is now open.

The hunts, which begin Sept. 1, offer Arkansas bowhunters an early opportunity to get into the woods. It’s also the most effective method available for wildlife managers to assist cities in maintaining white-tailed deer populations at levels which reduce conflicts with homeowners and drivers.

The following areas will have urban hunts for the 2020-21 season:

– Bull Shoals

– Cherokee Village

– Fairfield Bay

– Heber Springs

– Helena/West Helena

– Horseshoe Bend

– Hot Springs Village

– Lakeview

– Russellville

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission coordinates with the Arkansas Bowhunters Association and the Bull Shoals and Lakeview Urban Bowhunters Association to administer the nine urban bowhunting opportunities in The Natural State.
