Checking in on the Arkansas Prairie

This week I had a chance to visit with the guys from Backwoods Duck Club and Lodge in Wabbaseka, AR. They are about 15 miles from Stuttgart and back up to the west side of Bayou Meto. With the reports that are coming from DU out of the Dakota's, these guys are pumped up about the upcoming season. This years forecast is calling for a record increase in most duck species. The guys at Backwoods are even more prepared this year too! They've increased their square footage with the addition of a guide house so that more hunters can stay in the lodge. They have also recently completed a new shop that will be a great place to store gear, dogs, decoys and more. They may even let you build your own duck call on their lathe during your stay.
On top of having the same fields and property as last season, they have added some new private green timber holes. They have the ability to pump and flood these holes if the winter turns out to be a dry one.
The Backroads crew is looking forward to filming at their lodge this season and getting some great Arkansas duck hunting footage. We will be there on opening day and hope to see some smoking gun barrels! There is a link to their website under the "Partners" tab on our website www.huntbackroads.com. Check it out for more information on how you can book a hunt with them.
Here are some photos of the lodge and their new shop!
