Black and gray camouflaged...not really a pattern...marking just like camouflaged cloth...was hairy or fur but short in length and jump good 4 foot when I sprayed at him. Almost my hand in size.

no…thats not it..its dark grey and black….no patterns
Well, your photograph isn’t very clear. It could be a White-Banded Fishing spider, which are more gray and black and also found in Arkansas.
I am not around water….does that matter?
The genus is definitely more common around bodies of water, but they can also be found in woody areas. It is also easy to confuse wolf spiders and fishing spiders…some species can look similar, but I don’t think this is a Wolf.
Dolomedes Albineus White Banded Fishing Spider – Dolomedes is more than likely it….I found some more pics ….thanks for the help…just wanted to know if it was poisonous
