Dues

Hey guys! If you haven't sent us your dues yet, Richie and I need some of you to help us out. We've been putting deposits on fields and are going to need some funds that aren't there when the next deposit is asked for. If you haven't taken care of business already, please give me or Richie a holler ...

Sweet 16 permit reminder....

Don't forget that you'll need the free Sweet 16 permit to hunt some of the WMAs. (Since it's free, go ahead and select all WMA's when you apply.) Also, the OOS'ers (out-of-staters) will need to get a non-resident WMA permit prior to hunting, either the $25 5-day permit that can be purchased online o...

Re: 2016 waterfowl regulation changes

I haven't read the actual regulations yet, but here is the press release. No more Wonderducks on WMAs? Looks like that may be the case: Migratory bird seasons set, mechanical decoys banned on WMAs LITTLE ROCK – Although chronic wasting disease has garnered most of the attention from the media durin...

2016 waterfowl regulation changes

I just finished watching the live stream of the AGFC meeting. Primarily, I wanted to see if there was any discussion of limiting OOS'ers on WMA's. There wasn't. What they did do, however, without any discussion to speak of, is approve every proposed change from there survey that received a majority ...

Re: Proposed Season Dates

Hold the press! Everyone needs to go to www.agfc.com and voice your opinion about an alternative season proposal that takes the after season youth hunt and the last 5 days of January so that the youth season can be the two days after Christmas. To each his own, but I can't help but wonder why anyone...

2014 - 15 Season review

If there was ever such a thing as a typical Arkansas duck season in my mind, last year was it. We started strong, had a tough mid-season, and then ran out the later part of season on a heater. Overall, our average number of ducks killed per hunter per day was almost dead-on our average (down only .1...

I have finally got all of the more pressing loose ends wrapped up in the members only section of the forum so if all goes well, I should get last years photos and season summary posted soon. Hopefully tomorrow, but certainly by the end of the week.

Long overdue update

Richie mentioned to me the other day that we need to update our forums as our public forum hasn't had any activity on it in so long that it probably appears to visitors that the club is all but dead. I couldn't have agreed more, so I committed to doing my part to show a little life on the public for...

Re: Coon dog

Yup. I bred her to a well-bred chocolate factored black HRCH/MH that I have known for about 3 years. A+ on looks and IMO the best dog to come through our retriever club since Timber was in his prime. With Whiskey being choc. factored too, we should get about 25% chocolate pups, 50 choc factored blac...

Nope. He needed to stick around for another couple of months for a second shot.
