Arkansas Duck Hunt

It's been a tough duck season throughout the delta region.Those that hunted newly flooded regions where the ducks were did OK,sometimes very well;those that hunted areas that did well in the previous dry years had one of the worst seasons in memory.The real challenge was finding ducks and that could change on a daily basis with constant water,ice and food source variation.Sorry about the hunt ,don't give up-this just wasn't a year for set formula hunts ,it was a run and gun year.

We have had a very good season so far with the exeption of Christmas week and New Years . We got a tremendious amount of rain as you well know that scattered our ducks.Then we had a cold snap that froze froze the water .

If you had open water it was on. I am part of two leases in the DeWitt and Wabbaseka area and we continued to kill ducks .

The first pic is the first part of the season , we killed 25 birds of a mixed bag.

Second pic is timber hunting in Bayou Meto ,

Third pic is right before Christmas , I shot a Goose.

The fourth pic is hunting in a slough that was adjasent to our Wabbaseka lease .

As far as using a guide email me before next duck season and I will give you some good places to go

Jack,

Those are some great pictures. We were in Greene County and the ducks were paddled up on the other side of the timber from us. It was about 100 yards or less and we tried to walk through the woods to get some shooting. There had been a lot of wind damage to the the trees so there were limbs under water to tangle us up. We gave up on that idea. It was hard trying to call the ducks to us when they knew where their buddies were.
