Mastering the Arkansas Hunt: Scouting and Strategy with Big Creek Waterfowl

For waterfowl hunters, the anticipation leading up to an Arkansas duck and goose hunting trip is exhilarating. However, meticulous preparation and strategic planning are key to maximizing your success in the field. Big Creek Waterfowl (MallardHunter.com) understands this, and beyond providing prime locations and top-notch guides, we equip you with the knowledge and strategies to help make your Arkansas waterfowl hunt legendary.

Scouting Arkansas: Unveiling the Secrets of Success

Scouting lays the groundwork for the opportunity of a productive hunt. Here’s how Big Creek Waterfowl does it:

  • Scouting – morning and afternoons: Our experienced guides scout all our potential hunting areas, checking water levels, locating where the birds are using or flight patterns, and pinpoint ideal blind locations.

  • Aerial Scouting: Gain a bird’s-eye view with our aerial drone scouting. This comprehensive approach helps identify large concentrations of waterfowl and pinpoint their movement patterns all while not disturbing the birds.

  • Real-Time Intel: Our team stays updated on weather patterns, water levels, and recent waterfowl activity in the area to enhance your hunting success.

Decoding Duck & Goose Behavior: A Strategic Approach

Understanding duck and goose behavior is crucial for a successful hunt. Here’s what Big Creek Waterfowl does:

  • Species Identification: differentiate between various duck and goose species commonly found in Arkansas. Our guides scout to gather the information to target specific birds based on migration patterns.

  • Feeding Patterns: Ducks and geese have distinct feeding preferences. Depending on the weather and conditions, with our scouting we can then determine the most appropriate locations to hunt to optimize a successful day in the field.

  • Calling Techniques: Conditions and the stage of the migration have a huge impact on the calling techniques for a successful hunt.  In many cases “less is more” when it comes to calling.

Crafting the Perfect Hunt: Strategy in Action

Imagine this:

  • Armed with scouting intel or real-time updates, you arrive at the hunting grounds with a clear picture of potential duck and goose activity.

  • Our experienced guides pick strategically placed blinds, considering wind direction, concealment, and proximity to feeding areas and flight patterns.

  • Our guides mimic the sounds that attract specific species, drawing them closer to your well-concealed blinds.

  • As the sun rises, the air vibrates with the symphony of nature – the calling geese and ducks responding to the guide’s calls.

  • With patience and practiced skills, you will  experience the thrill of a successful hunt, enjoying the fruits of strategic preparation.
