Greenheads and Labs - Arkansas Duck Hunting Guide Service

Welcome to the Arkansas Delta. We are located on the Southern end of the Grand Prairie, only 30 minutes southeast of Stuttgart. Large numbers of Mallards winter in our area, right here along the White River in the heart of the Mississippi flyway.

When the temperature drops and the leaves start to fall, the winter rains soon fill the bottoms, and you know the flocks of Mallards are on their way. You are invited to share a morning with us and see for yourself as big groups of Greenheads drop through the treetops. You'll soon know why the Grand Prairie is known as the "Duck Capitol of the World".

About Our Hunts

All hunts are morning hunts over decoys with trained retrievers and experienced guides. We hunt standing in flooded timber, or in large blinds or pits in rice fields. Most river hunting is done from a large blind boat or from our twenty-four foot pontoon boat blind. We offer affordable hunts for parties of any size with lodging for up to twenty hunters. We have two hunting lodges for sleeping arrangements adjacent to the main duck hunting lodge where you will enjoy great southern cooking!

2011 - 2012 Season Dates

Last season was extremely good as most of you know that hunted last season, especially during the first half of the season. Our mallards numbers were above average all season. Preliminary reports from the breeding grounds for this upcoming seasonare very good. Mallard numbers remain great despite the punishment we out on them!

Ducks had excellent habitat for the brooding season. I expect a good fall flight and should be a successful season for 2011-2012. As always my main focus for this season will be the Jacks Bay hunting area. Some of you got to see some of the other tracts produce very good last season as well. I look forward to hearing from you.
