Ducks Unlimited writer Will Brantley journeys along the storied Mississippi Flyway and examines the hunting scenes from Southern Manitoba to the Louisiana Gulf Coast.
Such a trip wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Arkansas’ famed Grand Prairie, and Brantley picks the brain of Greenhead editor Brent Birch to help explain what makes the hunting special.
