[QUOTE="Cowbaby, post: 3643178, member: 46875"] 1.5 million acres of Public land down here in southeast corner that goes over into Arkansas for maybe 100miles. But don't believe everything you hear about stand hunting only. I do stand hunt some but with the amount of wide open land and hunting pressure down here it becomes somewhat pointless after about the 3-4th day unless your on a major traveling trail or other hunters run it to you. Most everything I get down this way is through stalk hunting, organized drives with other peopel or climbing to good spot that is almost inaccessible to most people and then sitting down with a good view. Its just too vast and gets a lot of hunting pressure in the easy to get to stuff near the roads. Deer down here stay poorer, the terrain is just straight up or down for the most part, rough and rocky plus the mature bucks never stop traveling during rut. 130-140lb field dressed is usually pretty dang good. How much you put up from that depends on whatand how much you keep and how you decide to butcher it from there. Different world than private land hunting and shooting their head in the feed bucket. Stuffs movin and not waiting around all photogenic like for you to snap a picture. lol, Certainly not the best hunting in the state but I occasionally see a few Boone and Crockett stuff come out of here over the years. Including one that would have been the state record if it had been taken legally in a season. Yea we have a lot of that kind of thing too. .308 is fine and while not one of my personal favs it has a huge following and will get-er-done. [/QUOTE]
