THE ARKANSAS DUCK-HUNTING EXPERIENCE

More Habitat. More Options. Better Decisions.

Arkansas County Guide Service offers guided duck hunts near Stuttgart, Arkansas—the community widely known as the Duck Capital of the World and one of the most recognized destinations along the Mississippi Flyway.

Our hunting area is not limited to one blind or one type of habitat. Depending on bird movement, weather, wind and current feeding patterns, a morning hunt may take place in flooded green timber, a buckbrush swamp, a cypress brake, an oxbow lake or a flooded agricultural field.

Our guides scout throughout the season and communicate the following morning’s plan after the evening scouting run. This flexibility allows us to select the location that offers the best available opportunity instead of forcing every group into the same setup day after day.

No wild-bird hunt can be guaranteed. What we can promise is preparation, knowledgeable guides, proven hunting property and the willingness to adjust as conditions change.

TWO CLASSIC ARKANSAS DUCK-HUNTING SETTINGS
