The Fields

The Corner Our all-time most consistent and best field (in rice again this year) in the Cache river bottoms. This field has a pit blind that comfortable seats 8 and has two dog boxes. It has a false floor so that you're not standing in any water most of the time. It also has foot lockers on either side to store your gear in. This is the field that we have hunted more than any other over the years – and with good reason. This is a 5-star field if there ever was one!

The "bean" field: Last year this field was our #1 producer as it occasionally is, but it’s no real surprise since this field sits next to the "corner"! We use natural cover along the shallow edges of this field for our best hunting since this field is almost always in beans and has slick water with no levees to provide cover for a blind out in the field. Don’t let anyone fool you: We read the same reports on food values many biologist do, but having hunted bean and rice fields all our lives, we can’t tell that ducks have any preference between beans and rice. We know rice has the reputation, but ask the locals for the proof! This spot and the pit blind in the Corner sit about ¾ a mile from each other so while we rarely actually do it, both can be hunted at the same time with virtually no impact on the other. Together, these two fields total about 300 acres.

Booger Bear: This field is just 15 minutes west of Jonesboro on the bank of the Cache River and contends for the title of our best field. It’s close proximity to Jonesboro and easy access without the need for an ATV make this field a consistent favorite.

Lonnie's field: This precision leveled 120-acre rice field sits in the Village Creek bottoms west of the Cache river and is surrounded by rice as far as you can see. This is one of the fields that we day lease for $400 (or you may go to any of the adjoining fields and lease them for $600 from another well known guide service). This field is a proven performer that we’ve had in our arsenal for more than 15 years. Now with the addition of a 12-foot pit blind with a dog box and flip tops, 5 adults and a dog can comfortably hunt this field with the utmost concealment.

Paul’s fields: When the Black River comes out of it’s banks, these fields sit right in the middle of the hottest spot in northeast Arkansas. These fields are dependant, however, on the river leaving its banks, which happens about once a year.

The Sloughs & Moist Soil Units

The Peabody is a real show piece of a blind.  It’s 16’x22’ naturally and well camouflaged floating blind that has a covered boat slip, covered shooting decks on three sides, dog platforms, and a heated room with windows, electricity, stove, microwave, coffee-maker, sink, dining table, cots, and even a real working toilet!  You’ve got to see it to believe it!  The best part of this blind, however, is the duck hunting!  The blind sits in a small field managed for ducks and surrounded by timber.  To the West a few hundred yards is the old cache river, where we do some “in your face” green timber hunting where the ducks fall straight down, diving amongst the oaks and cypress.  Just to the west of the old river is the new Cache River , which forms the west property line of this land we own.  This land sits just 2 miles north of the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge and 3 miles west of the renowned Bayou DeView WMA (Click here for video from "The Peabody").

The Big Hole at Swan Pond: This is the old slough that Brent and Richie have called their favorite as long as they’ve been hunting. This hole can be walked to if you're not afraid of a little water about three inches from the top of your waters, but there’s a boat there for hauling gear and the weak of heart! The blind comfortable seats 6 guys or so or you can hunt standing in the buck brush.

The Little Hole: Swan pond is a huge area. On the west end of it, we have what we call the Little Hole. This is about a close as you can come to Green Timber hunting and not be Green Timber Hunting! In fact, we almost put this under the “Timber Holes” section! Here you're surrounded by trees here and the ducks come in just like they do in the holes in the timber. The field edges that border the willows around the holes also provide exciting action.

The Timber

Village Creek: This is our green timber hunting that at times can be awesome. When the water gets right and the ducks arrive, this area (in which we have several holes) provides classic Arkansas green timber hunting. Even when the water’s not high, you can always hunt the Cypress & Tupelo lakes that make up the main channel.

Black River Bottoms: These hardwood bottoms along the black river provide natural old-time duck holes that with proper scouting and good timing can provide memorable Arkansas-style green timber hunting.

The Other Spots

Ducks Everywhere is not limited to the above spots. In addition, we have countless other places available to hunt for the asking. If ducks get to stacking up on any of our farmers other thousands of acres, we just have to clear it with the farmer and we’re there! Every year we find ourselves throwing together a natural blind on a pothole somewhere that the ducks start hitting hard for only a day or two before and every year we find that some of our most memorable hunts are on these little hot-spots. It’s growing up in this area and knowing most of the land owners that gives us this advantage to be able to go where the ducks are!
