The Big Squirrel Challenge, a popular squirrel hunting event, is returning to Arkansas, taking place on January 13-14, 2024. Organized by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, this event not only promotes hunting but also serves as a fundraiser for youth hunting programs. Participants can hunt on both public and private lands, with the event offering prizes for the largest squirrel, the most squirrels taken, and the heaviest total weight of squirrels. Registration for the event is open until January 12, 2024, and hunters are encouraged to sign up early. The challenge also emphasizes the importance of squirrel hunting in managing wildlife populations and fostering a connection with nature among younger generations.
