mathews4life Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Re: Arkansas bound Dec. 13th!! well man i'll be headin up there on the 10th. As for as the bird situation, well i was up there last week for a few days and as far as for birds there was hardly none, because of lack of water. Dont get me wrong there were people who were doing well but its hit or miss at the moment. I do believe by the time you and i get there that the hunting will be pretty good. Its is going to be very cold up there and i think they will get their first healthy batch of birds for the year which should produce easy decoying birds and quick limits. It's always better in late december and january. Last year we had an outstanding season over there, but others had terrible seasons. Our place was one of the few to have water because we hunt flooded timber and reservoirs(sp). Rice field hunting is getting far and few up there because of the expense to flood the fields. Anyway i think you will have some good hunting w/ the artic blasts pushing through right now. Everything up north is snowed and frozen over so it is a no doubter that birds will be down. Good luck keep me posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted December 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Re: Arkansas bound Dec. 13th!! Thanks for the reply, I've been going every year for about the last 10 years and I've always went in Jan. The last few years it seems that the young birds get down there mid Dec. and a lot of the older birds aren't even getting there, or are but aren't staying there because we aren't getting the weather up here to keep them down there. Sooooo, I guess I'll try it early this year. Anyways, I guess it really doesn't matter cause the food is always good, the drink is always cold, and the friendships just can't be beat. I'll put up a new post when I get back and let you know how I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallmunster Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Re: Arkansas bound Dec. 13th!! If things go as planned my brothers and I are heading to Stuttgart in early January. Friend of a friend is supposed to have some access to good private ground. Hopefully, the ducks are there when we are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Re: Arkansas bound Dec. 13th!! They're there. I live roughly 30 miles from the AR line and we have ducks for a while now. We have over 13 ponds and ducks have been on at least 9 of the 13. Ive seen loads of Mallards. Im betting by the time you get there they will be thick! Make sure and take loads of pics!

Randy Posted December 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Re: Arkansas bound Dec. 13th!! I don't have a digital camera yet. My buddy has one but then I'll have to figure out how to get the pictures off of it and on to my computer. I'll do my best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted December 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Re: Arkansas bound Dec. 13th!! Thanks Jeramie, I will try that. I didn't know they could do that. Do I need to bring a blank CD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Re: Arkansas bound Dec. 13th!! No, Im about 90% sure they supply the CD. You might call before hand. I have a digital so I typically email the pics. Whatever the cost I know its not that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
