NE Arkansas Hunting Locations

The Fields

The Corner

"The Corner" is our all-time most consistent and best field in the Arkansas Cache river bottoms. This field has a pit blind that comfortable seats 8 and it 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.  

The "Bean" Field

Don’t let the name fool you as it is usually in rice, but as the locals all know, even on those years it (or any other field) is in beans, the ducks preference for rice or soybeans is often indistinguishable. We should call it the rest field. This field sits next to the Corner and generally holds more ducks day in and day out than any field we have. We rarely hunt it, oftentimes choosing to just hunt the Corner about ¾ a mile away. The Bean Field holds a lot of water at varying depths and provides a lot of shore line with varying depths of water for everything from Mallards to Canvasbacks. Because of the fluctuating water level of this field we hunt it with portable blinds that we move to the areas of the field being used by the ducks. It’s large enough that even when we hunt one end or the other, ducks still rest the other end and provide an endless supply of activity.

Booger Bear

This field is just 15 minutes west of Jonesboro, AR on the bank of the Cache River and it ousted The Corner as our most productive field the past couple of seasons. Its close proximity to Jonesboro and easy access without the need for an ATV makes this field a consistent favorite.

Evergreen

This field is our most recent addition that, based on its history, is expected to contend as our most productive field and provide Ducks Everywhere with three top-rated fields. It has a 16 foot pit blind with two dog boxes that make it suitable for larger parties. Also about 15 minutes from Jonesboro, it is in a very remote area of the Cache River bottoms and access to it requires a long walk or an ATV anytime the field road is muddy.

Lonnie's field

This precision leveled field sits in the Village Creek bottoms west of the Cache River and is surrounded by rice as far as you can see. This field is primarily managed for late season success when the surrounding fields that are burned off pre-season have lost their nutritional value and just become rest fields for the area. This field is a proven performer that we’ve had in our arsenal for more than 15 years. Its has a spacious 12-foot pit blind with a dog box, flip tops, false floor, and foot lockers. 5 adults and a dog can comfortably hunt this field with the utmost concealment. Like Booger Bear, access to this field is very easy.

The Sloughs & Moist Soil Units

The Peabody

A real show piece of a blind, this 16’x22’ naturally and well camouflaged floating blind 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.

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 you can hunt standing in the buck brush, green timber style.

The Little Hole at Swan Pond

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 call it Green Timber Hunting (as some do)! You are 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 when the water’s up in late season.

The Timber

The Timber Hole

This is Brent and Richie’s favorite place is to kill ducks. It usually doesn’t produce as many ducks as fast as the Peabody blind does a few hundred yards away, but we still prefer our ducks “in the woods”, even if we do have to hunt a little longer to get them all.

The Bandy Farm

This large stretch of timber has several holes that are surrounded by hardwoods, cypress, and tupelo trees, depending on the specific area we hunt and even has one moist soil area that is always good for a few good hunts with the water gets high.  Access to this area is an adventure in itself that is usually made in the Argo, and sometimes by boat.  Some of our most memorable hunts ever have been in these woods, but good scouting is the key to discovering when the ducks begin using this area in good numbers.

The Tims Farm

This remote large, green timber area can generally be counted on for a good hunt on its large open water holes, and it can be downright awesome when it seems every duck in the county decides to hit the green timber holes. Large groups of undisturbed ducks falling in on the Tims Farm are not uncommon, particularly during the late season. If there is anything negative to be said about the Tims farm, it might be that it is so large that ducks can simply move to another part of it that we’re not hunting and stack up to provide some difficult competition from mother nature. We think that’s a good problem to have.

The Other Spots

Ducks Everywhere is not limited to the above spots. In addition, we have countless other places available to hunt. If ducks get to stacking up on any of our farmers other thousands of acres, we’re just a phone call away from breaking out the portable blinds or finding natural cover to get where the ducks want to be. Every year we find ourselves throwing together a natural blind on a hole somewhere that the ducks start hitting hard 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!
