LITTLE ROCK - The wildlife division of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has designed a new tool for sportsmen. Hunters can access harvest results by county, zone, wildlife management area and date. 

It is an interactive web site designed to provide the public with detailed harvest reports from the last two deer seasons. The data comes directly from the scanned check sheets the AGFC has used the last two years. It is the latest in a series of efforts to educate the public about the state of wildlife in Arkansas by making data accessible to anyone interested in the information. Other such projects include the Satellite Mallard Tracking Program and the 2003-2004 AGFC Deer Season Summary. 

Examples of the information available includes the 2004-05 modern gun season that opened on Nov. 13, 2004 when 14,692 bucks were taken on that day. The total harvest for opening day of the modern gun season was 19,613 deer. That data can be compared with the 18,338 deer that were taken on opening day of the 2003-04 season.
