Looking for advice for relic hunting in N.E. Arkansas

[gcollins]

I am looking for any advice on relic hunting in N.E. Arkansas, I am going on vacation in a week or two, and I plan to go visit the Pea Ridge Battlefield. I know that you cannot hunt on Federal land, but I was hopeing to find a piece of private property close for me and the wife to hunt.

I will we great full for any help.
Thanks Greg Collins

Have you checked into the Official Records of the War of the Great Rebellion? The O-R's will contain daily reports and correspondence on all activity in the AR area. You should be able to find maps in the companion map book. Good hunting, David

Greg,

When I first saw your posting about places to hunt in "N.E." Arkansas, I was gonna offer as a suggestion the Chalk Bluff area on the St. Francis River, near Piggot, Ar. I would have also suggested a site on the Current River, on the Ar./Mo. border, north of Pocohontas. However, when I opened your post, I saw that you were talking about the other side of the state.... near Pea Ridge. I cannot help you there.

Hope you find a great area to hunt!

Kim

Anyplace along the Mo. and Ar. border near the old roads would be good. I would look around the old Fayetteville road near a water source. Good luck Tsgman

Thanks for allowing that info. I was not aware that it had been posted as off limits. I was there last in the late '80's. I used to live in Mississippi County, Ar. and made a couple of trips to Chalk Bluff.

The other that I had mentioned.... my uncle owns the land, and has access to ajoining lands around the Pittman Ferry locale. I have only hunted it once..... with my dad, who happened to find an 1836 Quarter.... along the old "military road."

Tkae care,

Kim
