Stay Away From Houses When Hunting in Arkansas

By Arkansas Game and Fish

The question comes up every deer season. “How close to a house can I hunt”?

The answer is no closer than 150 yards. That is a football field and a half in length. The rule applies to any kind of hunting with firearms – deer, doves, rabbits and all. Hunters using archery equipment must be at least 50 yards away from a house or residence.

Exceptions are hunters who have written, repeat written, permission from the residence’s owner or occupant.

But the owners of houses and their families can hunt close to home, even shooting a deer from a porch if that opportunity arises.image
