The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC) is holding committee meetings and the commission meeting on June 17-18, 2026. The AGFC traditionally utilizes June to finalize internal operational budgets, review land divestitures, and assess wildlife research projects.
As sportsmen, it is our responsibility to monitor all potential policy shifts that impact our heritage, because if we don’t, the anti’s will certainly fill the void.
Why We Must Stay Vigilant
Even when an agenda looks routine, critical policy discussions or unexpected amendments can emerge during committee sessions. Anti-hunting organizations continually look for opportunities to restrict public land access, ban specific management tools, or complicate existing frameworks. Your presence, whether in the room or watching online, reminds the commissioners that Arkansas sportsmen expect transparency, scientific wildlife management, and the preservation of our outdoor traditions.
We’ve seen it happen in states across the country: the moment the sporting community looks away, animal-rights activists strike. We cannot allow a vocal, organized minority to dictate how we manage our outdoor heritage.
