IS ARKANSAS “THE” DESTINATION FOR DUCK HUNTING?

ARE YOU DUCK HUNTING DEPRIVED LIKE I AM AT THE MOMENT?

Right now I’m sitting at the desk in my office and outside it is a muggy 90 degrees. It’s one of those sticky Arkansas summer days that causes everything to stick to ya. As boredom sets in I lose myself into imagination land. Those daydreams are not like other people’s distracted thoughts in July. I’m not at a lake, kicked back on a pontoon, watching the wakes from the jet-ski splashing on deck. Not on a beach somewhere with the sand between my toes. I’m not even envisioning being somewhere with a reel in my hand popping a crank-bait for that lunker to consume. No, I’m lost in those frosty covered window mornings. The 4 o’clock alarm not reaching it’s due because the excitement has awoken me early. I’m anxious to see what the morning has to behold. The smell of that freshly brewed coffee (boy doesn’t that coffee taste so much better during hunting season?) luring me downstairs into the kitchen for one more cup. Thinking about that cold boat ride, zig-zag’n in and out of trees headed to the hidden honey hole that is awaiting in the gloominess swamp, or the sweet sound of a Polaris cranking up to head to that “X” in the freshly scouted field from the day before.  I’m lost in the feeling I get when the world awakes around me. I’m dreaming of that euphoria I get when I hear the whistling of wings in the faint darkness hovering just above my freshly placed decoys. That smell of gunpowder after the first crack of our groups shotguns that rings outwards and breaks natures silence. I’m remembering the group of mallards that dive bombed us from the heavens like Japanese kamikazes and suddenly stop mid flight, motionless suspending themselves for what seemed like an eternity five feet atop the decoys. But I, like all of us duck hunters, awake from my dream and notice its still July and seasons still over 120 days away. The duck withdrawals slip back in and take away that brief moment of pure bliss.

Now that I’m back in reality, whats your reality? When season is here and your at your home away from home (the duck blind), are you having to check the pile of birds to make sure to not go over the bag limit? Are you smack dab in duck hunting central?  Is your local hunting ground holding thousands of birds ? Are you shooting that wide array of species that make that glorious winter journey? Do you have the knowledge of breaking that group off in the distance that is headed to feed

to come take that final swing that we all yearn for? Do you have the time to build blinds, manage your wetland, plant food, clear brush, camo blinds, string decoys, upkeep all equipment, scouting birds, discover new ground, study bird behavior, all the chore work required for a successful season and still enjoy your hunt? Are you able to take advantage of the many surroundings our feathered friends use and the diverse hunting opportunities they bring?  Do you have all the tools, decoys, boats, ATV’s, blinds, etc. at your disposal to use for all those various condition that magnificent fall flight may bring. Are you confident of being one of the best waterfowlers in the field? Have you been to Arkansas and experienced what she has to offer to the bird hunting world.  If your reading this you’ve probably answered no to one or even a few of these questions.

Most duck hunters have seen the photographs or even have them on display at the house or club. Claypools lies north of us around 40 miles. And just 65 miles south lies Stuttgart, the proclaimed duck capitol of the world. We are located right in the core of the top waterfowl wintering in a state that is the king for ducks.
