Building big bass and one big cat featured in May/June Arkansas Wildlife magazine 

LITTLE ROCK — Each issue of Arkansas Wildlife magazine, a publication of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, is loaded with articles readers won’t find anywhere else, and the May/June issue is overflowing.

There’s also an update on chronic wasting disease after eight years on the Arkansas landscape. Do you know that black bear hunters set a record with the 2023 harvest?

Those are just a few of the topics.
