About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedConway County straddles the transition between the Arkansas River Valley and the edge of the Ouachita Mountains, offering a diverse hunting landscape of river bottoms, cedar glades, and hardwood ridges. Portions of the Ouachita National Forest provide significant public hunting ground, and the Petit Jean River corridor adds bottomland character to the mix. Deer and turkey headline the season, with black bear appearing along the wilder national forest margins.
Mixed upland hardwood-pine ridges transitioning to Arkansas River bottoms and the Petit Jean River drainage. Cedars dominate rocky south-facing slopes while bottomland hardwoods fill the creek drains. Elevations vary moderately from valley floors to forested ridgetops.
Moderate. National Forest access attracts hunters but the terrain distributes pressure across a large landscape. Private land near Morrilton is more heavily leased and competitive.
OTC under standard Arkansas regulations. No mandatory antler restrictions. Deer season structure aligns with statewide dates.
Wild turkey hunting is solid throughout the hardwood and pine-hardwood mix. Black bear are present along the national forest edge within the Ouachita-zone bear season area. Squirrel hunting in the oak-hickory bottoms is an underrated option.
The Petit Jean River drainage holds big timber-country bucks that receive less pressure than more accessible Delta counties. Bear hunters use the Ouachita National Forest margins as a reliable starting point for south Arkansas bear seasons.
