With 3 million public acres of land and Spring in full swing, hunters across Arkansas are gearing up for the turkey season.

Few species captivate the imagination and hunting spirit of the American hunter more than the eastern turkey. With its stunning plumage, unique physical characteristics that set it apart from its Western counterpart, and adaptability to its homeland, it's no surprise that Benjamin Franklin once deemed it a "respectable bird." 

From scouting to deer habitat activities to shooting your bow, there are some very important deer hunting and deer habitat activities that you need to accomplish in the spring.

Marked by iconic teeth, claws, strength, and resolve, bears represent the vast and rugged continent of the United States. Perhaps the most overlooked season by hunters across the country, spring bear season offers opportunities for hunters to get in the field.

Many hunters use the off-season to hunt a different type of game: morel mushrooms. Finding a morel mushroom is like finding a $20 bill in a birthday card from 5 years ago. It's just an awesome find.

While it may be a lesser-known subspecies, that doesn't mean this bird is any less impressive. 

An ongoing question for every hunter is: “Where do I hunt?” Whether you’re an elk hunter, deer hunter, or turkey hunter, finding the best public or private hunting land is crucial for a successful hunt.

We had the opportunity to ask each member of The Untamed crew about some of our hottest turkey topics. Here are the highlights of our conversation about chasing (and harvesting) spring turkeys.

Have you considered how to spend the whitetail off-season? For deer hunters, coyote hunting challenges their hunting ability, promotes hunting practice in the off-season, and protects vulnerable wildlife.

When deer disappear, coyotes are often the culprit. They eat fawns, small game, livestock, and even our pets. Coyotes are one of the most adaptable animals in the world. Their excellent vision, sense of smell, and hearing, matched with their ability to survive by eating just about anything, make them irrepressible predators.

More often than not, coyote hunters will steer clear of public land, believing it is overrun by other hunters or that any surviving coyotes have already left the land. Do not believe these stereotypes!

Predator hunting has become increasingly popular in recent years. Whether it's because hunters don't want their beloved whitetail tracked down or they find a thrill in harvesting a nice 'yote, predator hunting does have some significance and should be looked upon more highly.
