Mark Sloan and Allison Redman of North Arkansas, owners of Old South Lures & Sloan Outdoors: Wildlife Division are continuing those same ol' handwritten original recipes that have made Old South Lures the highest quality lures o the market. The same quality ingredients, and the same goal- to promote the successful and responsible harvest of wildlife. Mark & Allison also provide professional nuisance trapping with a focus on humane removal & environmental balance. Our goal is to make a maximum impact on problem species while keeping a minimal footprint on the land and water we all share.
Over the years, I’ve learned that being an outdoorsman isn’t just about the catch — it’s about understanding the ecosystem and knowing when to step in to help maintain balance. Whether it’s relocating a beaver that’s flooding a pasture, or safely removing a predator threatening livestock, every job is about protecting both people and the land.
Through our recent purchase of Old South Lures, I’m proud to continue that mission. I’m fully licensed and permitted through the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission, and I also hold authorizations that allow me to trap in Kansas, Missouri, Louisiana, Illinois, Indiana, and Oklahoma. I understand that we all are after various forms and mutations of the same critters, but what is magical about Old South products... they are the same ones I used 20+ years ago, and they are the same high quality essence that drives a Northern Illinois critter wild, just the same as it does one here in Arkansas, or back where it all began in Morton, MS.
