Forecast for Little Rock

We are a father and son guide service that prides itself on providing superior service to the customer. We hunt from private rice fields near Stuttgart, Arkansas, the duck hunting capital of the world, about 40 minutes southeast of Little Rock. We offer morning and afternoon hunts for mallard, pintail, teal, gadwalls, and widgeons among others. We hunt from in-ground pit blinds and natural coverblinds. Lodge accommodations in the area are also available. Call 870-552-7090 for details.

Shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise until sunset, except during teal season, which begins at sunrise. WMAs are closed at noon to waterfowl hunters and waterfowl hunting during waterfowl season. Waterfowl rest areas are closed.

Migratory bird hunters in Arkansas 16 or older are required to carry proof of Arkansas Harvest Information Program (HIP) registration when hunting ducks, geese, doves, coots, woodcocks, snipe, rails, gallinules or moorhens. Available at no charge, HIP registration can be obtained by completing a short survey found at license dealers or any Arkansas Game and Fish Commission office.
