In this week’s episode, hosts Cason Short and Brent Birch (also the editor of Greenhead) sit down with Perry Partain to learn about how duck hunting has changed in Arkansas over the past four decades.
Perry Partain was raised in the L’Anguille River bottoms of East Arkansas, tagging along with his Depression-era grandfather on squirrel hunts and growing up in a time when ducks were abundant, unpressured, and limits could be taken without a duck call or a single decoy.
Fast forward 40 years, and the world he knew has changed almost beyond recognition. In this episode, Partain offers a steady, clear-eyed look at what’s happening in Arkansas’s public flooded timber, what’s driving the decline, what’s being misunderstood and what practical steps could help turn things around.
