Arkansas does not mandate a concealed handgun carry license. Act 777 of 2023 clarified this, stating no license is needed for concealed carry. Arkansas State Police still issues licenses, primarily for travel to states that recognize them. The standard license age is 21, or 18 for active duty, Guard, and reserve members.
Arkansas deer seasons vary by zone. In zone 10, modern gun season runs November 14 to December 6, 2026, with a late segment December 26 to 28. Archery season spans late September to February, and muzzleloader season occurs in October and December. Confirm your hunting spot on the Game and Fish mapper before purchasing tags. Feral hogs may be hunted on private land anytime, but on wildlife management areas, they can only be taken incidentally during open big game firearms or archery seasons.
