Opens here in Arkansas as well.
Stay safe, check those deer stands I would say use a safety harness, but then I'd be a hypocrite because I don't. Lol
Good luck

Buddy shot one with a bow this morning, tracked it a good ways where it ran through a neighborhood, we got the deer but it was a fiasco.

This is a pretty densely packed neighborhood of lake houses, keep that in mind.

He shot the deer and while tracking it it got up and ran, he backed out and waited 90 mins. I went and helped him track. We tracked her to the front yard of the resort and lost the trail, she doubled back and crossed the road and laid up in cattails beside some cabins, it was there we bumped her again. She took off running pretty good and my buddy said "well she looks okay" I said Screw this and took off running for the bridge, she got to the end of the peninsula and jumped in the river and swam across, she kept running and swimming through the little channels until she laid up behind someone's garage, I tried to back out but she got up and ran though the last canal on the map, I ran around and there was a guy in the yard so I explained what happened but he was sure the deer didnt run through the yard, I started looking along the shoreline and the homeowners dog found the deer under the dock that was on shore for the winter, deer took off back across the canal, I went running to go around the yard and the homeowners dog bit me, thankfully just got my boot.

Blood was gone at this point and I wasn't exactly sure where she went but I had a good idea, we walked to the canal where the trail ends and she was laying on the bank under a propane tank, we managed to back out without spooking her and I went and talked to a lady on her ring door while my buddy snuck in behind the garage and tried to shoot the deer, first shot missed but she didn't move and he put a second in her, at that point I ran up and finished it. Drug the deer across her yard and loaded it in my buddies trunk. All's well that ends well.

Yep this is the day that trappers who have been in and out of these same spots for the last couple of weeks get the stink eye from deer hunters that showed up yesterday.

Yep that's why I pull up stuff a week before and back in private land following the season end. It has seem to work for both of us. State land I just wait till deer season is done.
