Pleasant Ridge - Archery Deer

Pleasant Ridge offers archery deer hunting on 18 private acres just outside Rogers in Benton County, Arkansas, inside AGFC Deer Zone 1. This is a one hunter, archery only whitetail property in the Ozark foothills, where edge habitat keeps deer on their feet and sign is spread across the ground.
The property is mixed hardwood and pine timber on gently rolling terrain, with a small clearing at the northwest corner and a power line right-of-way crossing the back side. Those timber edges and the open lane of the right-of-way set up natural travel routes, and the cover holds deer from the early season through late winter.
Access is built to stay quiet. Two designated parking areas let you pick your entry by the wind, either along the power line right-of-way from the southeast corner or in from the north boundary. It is a short walk to your setup, so quick evening sits after work are easy to pull off. You hunt the property alone, with no one else moving through your woods.
Each booking is a 3 day archery hunt for one hunter, priced per hunter. Deer licenses are sold over the counter, with no draw required, and nonresidents can pick up a short term license that lines up with your hunt. Ground blinds and tree stands are welcome. Lodging, restaurants, and supplies are minutes away in Rogers.

Whitetail deer are the focus at Pleasant Ridge. The property sits where Ozark foothill timber meets rural homesites and open ground, the kind of edge habitat whitetails use heavily, and deer sign shows up throughout the 18 acres.
Mixed hardwoods and pine provide bedding and thermal cover, while the northwest clearing and the power line right-of-way add browse and soft edges along the back of the property. Deer Zone 1 has no antler point restrictions, so any legal buck is a shooter, and the long Arkansas archery season lets you hunt early season patterns, the rut, and late winter movement on the same ground.

After your hunt, you will be sent an automated Harvest Report. To assist Infinite Outdoors in maintaining the quality of properties, and continue to put conservation at the forefront, we require that the harvest report be completely filled out and returned. Failure to fill out the harvest report within 2 weeks of the hunt taking place will result in a $25 fine. If you are unsuccessful in filling your tag, Infinite Outdoors still needs to have that information provided to them. This is how we will make changes to future year's harvest quotas and continue to be the most well managed access and conservation platform in the country.

Arkansas archery deer season in Zone 1 opens in late September and runs through the end of February. A short early buck-only archery season opens on the last weekend of August. Alternative firearms and modern gun seasons also run in Zone 1 during the fall; this property stays archery only through every season.
