Lance Runion brought this to my attention today. Birders now have to have a permit to use state WMAs. This is the first I've heard of this.
Apparently starting July 1st, it's now a requirement that anyone visiting/using a state WMA in Arkansas has to be in possession of a license for said use. This includes fishing, hunting, birding, camping, hiking etc. The license can be a hunting or fishing license, or lake conservation permit per the website. Looks like the cheapest licenses are $10.50.
