Our First-Hand Experience

Impressions:

  • Our families love this lodge!  They cater to kids!
  • Friendly knowledgeable staff
  • Good southern cooking
  • Plenty of activities like ping pong, big screen TV’s, darts, shuffle board, horse shoes, baggo, covered outdoor fire pit, pool table
  • A highlight for us was going to Mac’s Prairie Wings hunting store
  • We loved that many of the guides are local land owners and we hunted some of their properties.
  • They scouted the hunting areas the night before our hunt to find the best spots for us. They were working hard to give us a great hunt and experience.  We limited out our first day and then due to our groups’ shooting letting us down the other days, we nearly limited out on those days as well.
  • Easy relaxed personable atmosphere which is why it is so good for kids

Hunting

The Duck Hunt / The Schedule:
All hunts are fully guided with the goal of providing a safe and enjoyable experience. Most hunts will be in flooded rice fields or flooded timber. The morning hunt begins about thirty minutes before dawn, and the guides hope to show every hunter what they mean by “The Black Tornado.” Hunting groups or parties are not mixed.

They have over 15,000 acres of private farm, timberland and flooded fields. They also have access to the 13,000 flooded acres of the Bayou Meto Wildlife Management Area and 157,000 acres of bottomland on the White River National Wildlife Refuge.

They prefer not to duck hunt in the afternoons to allow the ducks to return to the fields to feed and rest. Afternoon options are a drive to the Mack’s Prairie Wings store in Stuttgart, a quail or pheasant hunt with their partner operator, goose hunts when the birds are there or relaxing.

Afternoon duck hunts are an option if you did not limit out on your morning hunt.
