Deer Season 2008

It always amazes me how long it seems for hunting season to finally arrive and then how fast it goes! The off-season before this year was particularly busy because I am hunting new property and there was lots to do. Now that it is here, it is going so quickly. The hunting has been fabulous and although I have not seen the buck I want to put my tag on, one of my boys killed his first deer( a nice 8-point) and my buddy that is hunting with me has taken an 8-point and a 7-point. The best part about this season has been the opportunity to get back to what I enjoy most about deer hunting, sitting in a deer stand and relaxing. I would never be able to decide between deer or duck hunting if I had to choose just one because they are so different. Deer hunting allows me to enjoy the time and let my thoughts flow and I have always enjoyed that part of it. Although the weather this season has been interesting, I still have thoroughly enjoyed the fine art of sitting, and look forward to more of it! Welcome to the 1st post on my blog, TheArkansasOutdoors.Blog.com. The website, TheArkansasOutdoors.com, is currently being developed and should be up soon. Please visit and let me know your thoughts. The website is being created to give Arkansas outdoorsman a place to see and share hunting photos (not only of game, but of scenery and other hunting-related images, too), have resources and how-to tips, read profiles and hunting stories about deer and other game taken in Arkansas, and so much more. There is even going to be a section devoted to one of my favorite things about hunting - having the opportuntiy to eat at some of the finest diners and cafes around! Hunters have always know that the best food is in the towns in and around our hunting spots. We are going to highlight and discuss these fabulous places on TheArkansasOutdoors.com.
