![]() ![]() I had hunting when I had nothing else.THE GAME OF LIFE 2 is here on Nintendo Switch™! This digital board game is an official, contemporary sequel to the classic THE GAME OF LIFE game. "I killed my first deer when I was 9 years old hunting by myself. "I've been in the woods since I was 6 years old," Williams said. Owner of a heating and air business, Williams said that hunting is a vital part of his life. "There's not many people can say they ever had a 140-inch deer that close." "That's the challenge of it for me," Williams said. The satisfaction from both animals, Williams said, was taking them at such close range with a longbow, a truly primitive weapon. A buck is smart, but he's got nothing on a bear." "The bear is the smartest animal in woods. "I've killed seven 140-inch deer, and a bunch of 120s and 130s," Williams said. Williams, 37, who has hunted since he was about 7 years old, said there is no question that a bear is harder to hunt than a mature buck. "His green score is right at 140, so he'll be a solid mid-130." "He's a big main-frame eight-point, Williams said. The buck strolled under Williams's stand, and Williams arrowed the deer at 7 yards. It was perfect because it prevented the buck from smelling him. As soon as it was done, I had deer all over me."Īccompanying the storm tail was a west wind, which is rare for that area, Williams said. Williams hung a stand in what he called the buck's core area and waited for opening day of archery deer season. William's game camera photographed the revitalized buck in August. I pulled back (drew his bow), but I decided to let him go. "His ear was lopped and the whole side of his head was swole up. "I was going to take him last year, but he got wounded at the end of October," Williams said. Specifically, he hunted a 6 1/2-year old 8-point buck that he had been watching since it was about 18 months old. ![]() Having filled his season limit for black bear, Williams hunted deer on Saturday Sept. "I've never killed an ugly bear," Williams said. Williams said the bear had a full, plush coat and that his taxidermist is converting it to a full-body mount. ![]() Williams said he and the landowner rolled the bear into a tractor's bucket loader and took it back to camp. The arrow went right between ribs on both sides." "I've been shooting that bow every day," Williams said. Williams used a 125-gain Magnus Stinger broadhead with four blades attached to an Easton 500 arrow. Its draw length is 28 inches, and its draw weight is about 50 pounds. The bow is a Strata model made by October Mountain Products. The shot was true, and the bear ran only 50 yards before collapsing. The bear arrived at 7:24 p.m., and presented a broadside shot. Williams said he got on his stand at about 5 p.m., on Sept. I hunted Thursday, but the wind got shifty and I'm pretty sure he smelled me." On Thursday I raked everything up and scooped it back into the barrel. He dumped the whole barrel out and scattered stuff everywhere. "He hit it Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday while I was working," Williams said. Williams said he established the bait site in early September, and the bear found it on Sept. Nut Grub, which appears to be made of finely ground candy bar ingredients, is very popular among deer hunters. A 50-gallon drum served as the bait container. The bait was a mishmash containing corn, Nut Grub, snack cakes and other things. It is legal to hunt bears over bait in Arkansas on private land. He killed it over bait at about 12 yards from a climbing stand. The bear was Williams's fourth Arkansas black bear. In 2016, he killed a 9-foot, 7-inch alligator in Howard County. 24, again with his longbow, Williams killed a 130-class 8-point whitetailed deer in Pulaski County. 23, Williams, using his new longbow, killed a 325-pound black bear in Saline County. Lance Williams of Roland can make a strong claim to be poster child for big game hunting in Arkansas.
