About Your Trip

Experience the tradition and excitement of a true Arkansas timber hunt with Bryce in the flooded hardwoods of Hickory Ridge. Located in the heart of the Mississippi Flyway, this region is famous for producing some of the most sought-after duck hunting opportunities in North America. If you've ever dreamed of watching greenheads drop through the trees into the decoys, this is the hunt you've been waiting for.

There's nothing quite like hunting flooded timber. As daylight filters through the hardwood canopy, you'll settle into carefully selected hunting locations where ducks naturally travel, feed, and rest. The anticipation builds with every distant call and passing flock, until suddenly Mallards and other waterfowl appear through the trees, locking their wings and descending into the spread. These close-range encounters are what make Arkansas timber hunting legendary among waterfowl enthusiasts.

Bryce and his team utilize proven decoy setups and calling strategies designed to work birds into range while creating an authentic and exciting hunting experience. Their local knowledge, scouting efforts, and understanding of bird movement help maximize opportunities throughout the season. Whether conditions call for aggressive calling or a more subtle approach, they'll adapt the hunt to give you the best possible chance at success.

This hunt is ideal for both experienced waterfowl hunters and newcomers looking to experience one of the sport's most iconic traditions. The close-range action, beautiful surroundings, and unique hunting environment create an unforgettable adventure regardless of your experience level. Bryce is committed to providing a safe, enjoyable, and memorable hunt while helping guests fully appreciate the magic of flooded timber hunting.

Your trip includes lodging, giving you a comfortable place to relax after a morning in the woods. It's the perfect opportunity to unwind, share stories from the hunt, and prepare for another day in Arkansas duck country.

Hunters should bring their own firearms, ammunition, waders, hunting gear, and weather-appropriate clothing. Arkansas weather can vary throughout the season, so layering is recommended to ensure comfort in changing conditions.

From the sound of ducks working overhead to the sight of Mallards dropping through towering timber, this hunt delivers the classic Arkansas waterfowl experience that hunters travel across the country to enjoy. Join Bryce in Hickory Ridge and discover why flooded timber hunting remains one of the most thrilling and celebrated traditions in all of waterfowling.

About Your Guide

Bryce C.

Outfitter

Based in Northeast Arkansas, Bryce and his crew are dialed in on delivering waterfowl hunts you won’t forget. Focused on geese and ducks, they go where the birds are—scouting hard and adjusting daily to stay on fresh feeds. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all setup; it’s a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground approach to making every hunt count.

The team is as committed to the experience as they are to the success. Whether it’s your first hunt or your fiftieth, you’ll be treated like part of the crew. For Bryce, it’s about more than pulling the trigger—it’s about building memories, making connections, and sharing what makes Arkansas waterfowling so special.
