I finally got to Pea Ridge to check in and my spot was taken, so I went to another one to set up. That morning at dawn, shots were going off at sunlight and about 150 yards away across the road someone got a good one. About 5 minutes later somebody yelled, "MF'er, you shot my deer!" Followed by 8 rounds being spent a couple of rifle shots and a bunch of screaming.

I loaded my stuff up and left the woods in the opposite direction. Sheriff's department came in and they blocked off the road checking pistols and asking what people heard. I have no idea if somebody got shot or not, but that was the last time I ever hunted a FREE WMA.


Yep. The most dangerous thing in the woods ? Other people.
