Description: For the waterfowler, there is nothing better for the soul than watching the day break as the morning’s first big flock of ducks start working your spread – their chattering back and forth- the sound of their wings cutting the cold air – the smell of coffee in the blind – the restless lab sitting next to you – and then the sweet smell of gun powder – this is what duck hunting is all about…
This duck hunting paradise farms and manages nearly ten thousand acres of farm ground of which 95% of the crop is rice. They rotate crops with soybeans and Japanese millet which can also be flooded for the ducks. Located in the heart of the flyway this destination is the first stop into Arkansas for birds heading south on the Mississippi flyway.
