Fully guided Arkansas specklebelly goose hunt
THE ARKANSAS SPECKLEBELLY EXPERIENCE

Vocal Birds. Close Finishes. Unforgettable Hunts.

Arkansas County Guide Service offers fully guided morning and afternoon specklebelly goose hunts in flooded and dry agricultural fields throughout the Stuttgart area.

Specklebelly hunts may be conducted from layout blinds, pit blinds or A-frame blinds depending on weather, migration timing, wind and how birds are using the field. Guides scout current feeds and communicate the meeting location and hunting plan before each hunt.

Morning groups may leave from the lodge behind the guide or meet at a designated location near the field. Afternoon groups generally meet around 1:00 p.m. at one of our primary meeting areas before traveling to the setup.

Specklebellies are among the most vocal and exciting geese to call. Their responsiveness, close decoying behavior and excellent table quality have made them one of the most popular waterfowl hunts in Arkansas. Last season, our hunters harvested just under 3,600 specklebelly geese.

TWO DAILY HUNT OPTIONS

Morning & Afternoon Specklebelly Hunts

Both hunts are fully guided and include transportation into the field, decoys and the blind setup selected for that day’s conditions.
