The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission announces the availability of free deer tags for youth hunters ahead of the first youth deer hunt of the 2025-26 season, taking place November 1-2. Young hunters aged 6 to 15 must secure their own tags through individual accounts on the AGFC website or mobile app to participate in this exciting event.
To enhance accessibility, the process for obtaining these tags is straightforward, with options for both resident and non-resident youth hunters. Mentorship is also emphasized, as licensed adults may assist youth in various ways while ensuring that the young hunter handles the firearm themselves. This initiative aims not only to promote hunting but also to foster responsibility and outdoor skills among the next generation of hunters.
