Who We Are
The Club & Guide Service
Ducks Everywhere is a duck-hunting club in Jonesboro, Arkansas, that guides a limited number of hunters every year. Its founders, Brent Bryant and Richie Foster, hunted together throughout northeast Arkansas all of their lives and developed a reputation for finding and calling ducks. Since 1987, the two have been taking guests duck and goose hunting throughout northeast Arkansas. In 1998, they officially founded Big Birds Hunting Club, and in 2000 changed its name to Ducks Everywhere. (The name for which occurred after hearing the phrase countless times in the blind that, “we’ve got Ducks Everywhere!”)
Today, Brent and Richie own and operate Ducks Everywhere club and guide service and work year-round to improve your hunting success. The numbers of memberships and guided hunters both are limited each year to insure that our spots are not over hunted and that everyone has a variety of hunting spots to choose from on any given day. Brent and Richie guide only a few days of the season and only book one group of hunters each day so that they both can both guide you and your friends for the best hunting experience possible. The rest of the season they reserve for themselves to hunt with fellow members of Ducks Everywhere and their guests.
The owners and guides
Brent Bryant grew up in Tuckerman, Arkansas, between the Black and Cache Rivers in Jackson County. These days Brent runs his own law office Fayetteville, Arkansas, where he lives during the off-season with his wife and family. Much of his time at home is spent training his chocolate Labrador retrievers and Master Hunter, Timber (Big Bird’s Timber Cane MH) and his pup Sky. During duck season, Brent packs up his office, kisses his understanding family good-bye, and moves back home to northeast Arkansas to do what he loves best! Brent also enjoys turkey and deer hunting and he hunts Canada Geese almost daily during the late season after the duck season closes.
Richie Foster grew up in Jonesboro, Arkansas, hunting the duck-rich areas between the Cache and St. Francis rivers. By day, Richie’s bread and butter is his earth moving business, Foster Dozer and Backhoe service. By night, he’s a prominent name in the region’s coondog hunting circles, regularly competing on the local and national levels. Additionally, Richie manages his 400-acre deer and turkey hunting property in the Ozark Mountain region of Sharp county where he and his guests kill several deer and turkey every year.
