About Your Trip

Join Clay for an unforgettable guided waterfowl hunting experience in one of the most productive migration corridors in the Mid-South. These hunts take place in the renowned region between Big Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Arkansas and the Hornersville Swamp Refuge in Missouri—an area famous for attracting massive numbers of migrating ducks and geese throughout the season.

This stretch of country sits directly in the heart of the Mississippi Flyway, providing ideal habitat and feeding opportunities for waterfowl as they move south each fall and winter. The combination of agricultural fields, wetlands, timber, and refuge systems creates a natural magnet for migrating birds, making it one of the premier waterfowl hunting destinations in the country.

Clay and his team are passionate waterfowl hunters who take great pride in delivering a high-quality hunting experience from start to finish. Their dedication to scouting, bird movement, and daily conditions helps ensure hunters are positioned in productive locations and have the best opportunities possible throughout the hunt.

You'll hunt over large, professionally designed decoy spreads that are strategically placed to attract passing birds and encourage them to finish within range. Combined with experienced calling and local knowledge, these setups create exciting opportunities as flocks work the spread and commit to the decoys. Whether you're a seasoned waterfowler or experiencing your first duck hunt, the sight of birds dropping into the spread is something you'll never forget.

Comfort is also a major focus of the experience. Hunters enjoy dry, warm seating throughout the hunt, allowing them to stay comfortable and focused on the action regardless of weather conditions. This makes the trip enjoyable for hunters of all ages and experience levels.

Your hunt includes more than just time in the blind. Guests are treated to a hot breakfast, lunch, and beverages, ensuring you're well-fed and ready for a full day of waterfowl hunting. From the early morning setup to the final flights of the day, every detail is designed to provide a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Whether you're looking to cross Arkansas and Missouri waterfowl hunting off your bucket list, introduce friends and family to the sport, or simply enjoy a professionally guided hunt in prime duck country, Clay and his team are committed to making your trip a success.

Come experience outstanding hunting, excellent hospitality, and the excitement of chasing migrating waterfowl in one of the best hunting regions in the Mississippi Flyway. Clay and his crew look forward to welcoming you to the blind.
