The statewide squirrel hunting competition encourages hunters of all ages to spend time outdoors while taking part in a friendly contest that highlights one of Arkansas’s most popular small-game seasons.
Hunters may begin hunting at noon Friday, Jan. 9, and must be in line with their harvest by noon Saturday, Jan. 10, at one of the designated weigh-in sites. At the Yellville location, participants will bring their squirrels to the Fred Berry Crooked Creek Nature Center, located at 851 Conservation Lane off Highway 62/412.
Teams of two hunters are encouraged, with divisions for adult teams and youth teams, though solo hunters may also participate. Hunters may harvest the daily legal limit, but only the three largest squirrels will be weighed for competition purposes. Categories include fox squirrels, gray squirrels and mixed bags.
Medals will be awarded for first and second place finishers in each category at each weigh-in location, with top teams statewide also receiving Umarex air rifles. All participants who weigh in a squirrel will be eligible for door prizes at their location.
There is no preregistration or entry fee required. Squirrels must be field-dressed with the skin left on before weighing.
In addition to the Yellville site, another nearby weigh in location will be open at the Ponca Nature Center in Newton County.
More information about the event is available on the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission website.
