Ducks Everywhere

Ducks Everywhere only books one group of paid hunters on a given day, and we only book a very limited number of days each season. How many guide services do you know that can offer you that kind of exclusivity at any price?

The members of Ducks Everywhere have more than a dozen different private places to hunt at any given time and even on our busiest of holiday weekends, we only hunt 2 or 3 of those places at a time. The vast majority of the season, there are only two or three members hunting one of those many locations. This allows Ducks Everywhere to rest all of its locations - a lot. So much so, that we rarely hunt any of our locations more than twice a week. This means that we have an abundance of well rested, well managed places for you to hunt.

Several of our places are green timber, several are rice fields, and a few are moist soil units, rivers, or sloughs. We are not confined to one or two farms in a small area. Our places are spread over different areas in four counties, so if ducks aren’t using one particular area, we can probably find them in one of our other areas. When you book a hunt with us we will select the best spot among all of those places that we believe will provide you the best hunt. You will not be relegated to hunting our 5th or 6th best spot because another group booked before you or tipped better. Additionally, when you book with us, you will be guided by owners Brent Bryant or Richie Foster and usually both! You will not be guided by an inexperienced person who will take you to a blind to show you how well they can blow a high-ball and shoot. We will do everything we can to see that you are given the service you deserve and are treated the way you would like to be treated. You should book your hunt with Ducks Everywhere because we will provide you a level of dedication and service you simply cannot get from a full-time guide service that depends on large number of hunters in their fields every day of season.

We work for you

When you hunt with Ducks Everywhere, you decide what you want us to do (or not do) for you. You can do all of the calling, or none of it; You can call your own shots, or let us call them for you; If you want your birds back-peddling over the decoys, we'll do our best to get them there; on the other hand, if you like to shoot as many birds as fly in range, that's fine too. When the hunt’s over, you'll know you killed your birds, because we will never shoot first. In fact, we won't even shoot at all if you don't want us to. The bottom line is: We work for you!

Lodging

Guided hunters may choose to stay at one of our area motels for cost savings and added privacy or, depending on availability, may stay at the Ducks Everywhere Hunting Lodge for an additional fee.

A Typical Arkansas Guided Hunt

A typical hunting trip with Ducks Everywhere begins with dinner the evening before your hunt to visit and make plans for the following morning. The next morning, we’ll head out to our selected spot for the day. Most drives will be 15 – 30 minutes and you are welcome to ride with us or follow in your own vehicle. (All of our parking areas are accessible in a two-wheel drive vehicle.) From the parking area, we’ll take you to the blind in one of our boats or ATVs. At the blind, we’ll take care of the decoys while you settle in for your hunt. The morning hunt will end once we’ve got a limit of ducks or about lunchtime, whichever comes first. From there we’ll go get a bite to eat and probably check out a few of our other spots along the way. After lunch, we’ll go back out for the afternoon hunt if you want to. If you choose not to hunt the afternoon, you can spend the afternoon relaxing while we do more scouting for the next day.

Ducks, Ducks, & more Ducks

It’s no surprise that most everyone comes to Arkansas to shoot Mallards, and for the most part that’s what we kill. You can, however, expect to also kill a few Wood Ducks in our timber holes; and Teal and Gadwalls in our fields and sloughs. You’re also likely to kill Pintails, Widgeon, Shovelers, and other species. In the woods, it’s not uncommon to kill a limit of mallards and have to wait to kill your “other” ducks to round out your bag. In the fields, you can expect more of a mixed bag in the early season, and the occasional specklebelly or snow goose is always a possibility, too.

Snows & Specks

Snows and Specks are an added bonus to any Arkansas duck hunt. Occasionally, a few geese will be shot while duck hunting, but to really kill geese good numbers of geese you have to specifically be hunting them. This can often be successfully accomplished by either decoying the birds into gun range or jump shooting them off of a field. Ducks Everywhere has guided snow goose hunts over large spreads of decoys in years past, but we do not generally book guided snow goose hunts anymore so we can concentrate our efforts on the ducks. If the opportunity presents itself though, we will gladly set you up on a good ‘ole Arkansas jump shoot. This is done by finding a huge concentration of geese feeding near a ditch or other cover that enables you to sneak up on them and then ambush them at close range.

Canadas

The Arkansas river valley boasts a large population of resident geese, with some occasional migrants, that can be found along the Arkansas River in the western part of the state. Big Birds Hunting Club is the Arkansas Hunting Federation sister club to Ducks Everywhere. For years Brent Bryant, Richie Foster, & Ryan Rogers guided hunters on Canada goose hunts in the river valley. When duck season’s out, they still enjoy hunting the birds regularly with club members and guests near Ryan’s riverside cabin. In recent years, as resident Canada goose populations have grown in northeast Arkansas, we have started killing an increasing number of honkers while duck hunting. We are hopeful that trend continues for you.
