What To Bring

Licenses

You’ll need to have a current Arkansas Hunting License (available online), State & Federal Duck Stamps, and H.I.P. registration.  There is usually no problem getting these when you arrive, but we strongly recommend purchasing them online in advance, as duck stamps are occasionally in short supply during the hunting season.

Shotgun & Shotshells

We recommend #2, #1, or BB steel shot (depending on our hunting location), or #5 or #4 Hevi-Shot, Tungsten or Bismuth.  Bring some BB, BBB, or T if you want to shoot geese, too.

Warm Clothing

The temperature is usually in the 30's or warmer, but sometimes it turns bitterly cold and wet, particularly in the late-season, so be prepared for the worst.

Waterproof Boots

Knee or Hip boots will do in most situations, but we encourage you to bring along a good pair of chest waders for added comfort and convenience.

Dogs

If have a good retriever, we'd love to see him in action. All we ask is that you only bring a dog that is under control. Everyone loves to hunt with a good gun dog, but nobody wants a dog in the blind that is out of control raising safety concerns and flaring ducks.

ATV

Day Leasers might want to bring an ATV with them if they have one. All of our field blinds can be reached without one, but the walk to some of them can be overwhelming, particularly if the field road is muddy so that you can’t drive your truck on it. Club members will want to bring a boat or ATV with them, if they have one, depending on where they’re hunting. Members without a boat or ATV won’t have any problem hunting with a club member who does, or borrowing another member’s, if needed.

Bedroll

Members and guests staying at the Lodge should bring a bedroll for one of the many beds we have available.
