Lots of county and logging dirt/gravel roads when I grew up. Many still are.That is called a "highway"...

Just move to a state that has a very liberal limit. When I lived down South, we had a one legal buck per day limit for a few years, then it went to 3 does and 5 bucks per year, then it flipped to 5 does and 3 bucks. Since there were no tags, I knew people who would kill over 20 per year during the various hunting seasons.
We still have have family farm land there, so every so often, I make the trip back to enjoy the liberal limits. Lots of deer allow for trying various calibers, bullets, handguns, etc.
LOL.......I do understand, but with only one week here to hunt elk and deer, often, I do miss the 4 months of deer season we had and the liberal limits. I spent a lot of enjoyable time in those old woods, fields, swamps and river bottoms. I could hunt and kill game with a different caliber/bullet combo almost any week I wished, and sometimes, multiples in the same week.View attachment 580570
And give up MT elk season? Sacrifices…
Arkansas just added another season. Alternative gun season allows Straight wall cartridge rifles October 19-27, it coincides with the muzzleloader season. So I just sighted in a Weatherby Vanguard Walnut stock in 350 Legend. Looking forward to an earlier centerfire start to our season here. Limit is 5 deer, no more than 2 bucks.LOL.......I do understand, but with only one week here to hunt elk and deer, often, I do miss the 4 months of deer season we had and the liberal limits.

So now, I just have to make the trip back, and to other areas, when I feel the need for.....more.
Is that the Ridge? River zones;?Arkansas just added another season. Alternative gun season allows Straight wall cartridge rifles October 19-27, it coincides with the muzzleloader season.

I hunt in Zone 12, South Arkansas. But the Alternative Gun Season is in other zones as well.Is the Ridge? River zones;?
Back in the 90's in MS, it was not uncommon to take a break from deer hunting and grab the 22LR and hit the woods before day break or an hour before sunset. Often during those short hunts, we would see does walking and feeding around in the hardwood lots, and every so often, one came close enough for an easy head shot. Those CCI MiniMags HP's would drop them in their tracks.Arkansas just added another season.

When the Modern gun season starts in November I will have to choose between a Mauser M18 6.5 CM zeroed for 140 Norma Tipstrike or a Sauer 100 6.5 CM zeroed with 140 Accubond or a Winchester 70 in 270 WSM zeroed for 150 Fusion.
Too hard to decide. Wish I could just take my squirrel rifle and shoot'em all in the head. God willing, we are going to have deer roast, deer chalupas, deer casserole and deersketti.
Well, there's always coyote hunting.LOL.......I do understand, but with only one week here to hunt elk and deer, often, I do miss the 4 months of deer season we had and the liberal limits.
