Just got this reminder from the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission. Thought I woud pass it along to the folks who hunt on the western side of the river.

From the AGFC:

LITTLE ROCK – The 2007-2008 Arkansas deer seasons close Feb. 29, and some die-hard hunters are still out there trying to fill their remaining tags.

A few of those die-hards are trying for the final segment of their Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Triple Trophy Award requirement by taking a deer with stick-and-string. Hunters who qualify for the Triple Trophy Award must, within a single annual deer season framework, take at least one deer by each of the three legal hunting methods – modern firearms, muzzle-loading rifle or pistol, and archery/crossbow tackle.

Certificates suitable for framing are given to qualifying hunters.

The Triple Trophy Award program has been popular with Arkansas hunters from its inception, and the number of qualifiers has slowly risen each year.

Triple Trophy Award applications can be downloaded on the agency’s website.

Applications are also available from the AGFC’s Communications office at (501) 223-6331.

Remember, the application deadline is April 10.
