This is the first year that I have the opportunity to hunt in two different counties; I am not quite sure how to interpret the rules for AR counties. Are you only allowed one deer over the 13" spread in all of the counties or can you take more than one as long as they are in different counties?
SPECIAL ANTLER RESTRICTIONS:• Antler restrictions apply only in certain counties (see County Listings). In these counties, the bag limit is two legal bucks, but only ONE may have an inside spread of 13 inches or greater. In these counties, a legal buck deer is defined as having: ◦a hardened antler protruding through the skin AND;
◦ at least one unbranched antler; OR
◦ an inside spread measurement between main beams of 13 inches or greater (does not apply to a buck that has an unbranched antler).
•In these counties it is unlawful to take more than one buck with an inside spread of 13 inches or greater.
•To determine if a buck has an inside spread measurement of at least 13 inches, look at the distance from ear-tip to ear-tip on a buck with ears in the alert position (see illustration).
• Does not apply on Level 2 or 3 MLDP properties.
•Definition of a point: A point is a projection that extends at least one inch from the edge of a main beam or another tine. The tip of the main beam is also a point.
