Coming off a more than satisfactory duck season and hoping for another, we are proud to present the fifth annual edition of Greenhead, The Arkansas Duck Hunting Magazine. It truly seems only yesterday we were conceptualizing the first Greenhead and wondering if we could build an audience for a once-a-year magazine that was 100 percent about Arkansas duck hunting. The editorial team is proud to say “yes” and then some as our nationwide fan base grows with each edition.
After a few phone calls and a little networking, I built a lineup of hunts that most waterfowlers only dream about. Not one hunt but four outstanding private clubs – the proverbial bucket list of places or specific clubs that would cause someone to make a deal with the devil just to get one hunt on those hallowed grounds.
Dogs keep us company, make us laugh, protect us and guard our homes and property, all while asking for little in return. Then we take them to the flooded woods and wetlands and turn them loose in conditions better suited for curling up by the fire. And they respond like it’s a reward, taking the icy plunge again and again to retrieve the fruits of our day’s work.
Greenhead asked nine Arkansas businessmen to go on the record about their waterfowling experiences, and they responded, hitting their limit and then some.
There were five of us hunting this morning and we fit comfortably into the pit blind. It was of typical construction, heavy gauge steel with split flip tops and dog boxes located on each end. We settled into our locations, each of us choosing a spot and readying our guns and gear for the morning. The sun was rising quickly and anticipation was running high as the first ripping wings of early fliers crossing our location could be heard.
When Stuttgart guide Jim Gignac heard about Cole Croteau, a teen afflicted with cystic fibrosis, wanting to hunt the area, he jumped at this chance to make it happen.
