Looks like a group of Arkies here.
BKS, you don't live in the armpit, I DID when I lived in Blytheville!! I guess maybe you live in one armpit, I lived in the other. I always said that if they were going to give the world an enema, they'd stick the tube in Blytheville.
Anyway, on to hunting. I spend quite a bit of time in Craighead, Greene and Sharp counties hunting fox and coyote. My son and I own ~125 acres up in Sharp County (Ravenden area) that we coyote and deer hunt on. Green county has some public land north of Paragould that we do good on, and I have access to some private land around Jonesboro that we hunt on at times. The WM area doesn't have much to offer as far as public land goes, but you aren't too far from places like Dagmar and Wattensaw. Also Cache River NWR and White River NWR should offer some good hunting.
I replied to your post about a scope on the Varminter over in the firearms section. AR's is all that my son and I use for varmints and predators. Good luck on your selection, and I might need to check this forum out a little more often. I usually just check the Firearms forum, sometimes the pictures.
See ya.
