In this week’s episode of the Standard Sportsman podcast, hosts Cason Short and Brent Birch (also the editor of Greenhead) talk about Arkansas’ role in the world of waterfowling.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, and Arkansas has worn the title of Duck Hunting Capital of the World for generations. Despite a run of difficult seasons, the state remains at the forefront of the sport. Duck hunting is more than recreation here—it is closely tied to tourism, agriculture and the economies of rural communities.
Cason and Brent break down what duck hunting means to Arkansas, why the title carries responsibility and how deeply the tradition is woven into the state’s identity.
