Favorite hunting story/memory?
Always enjoy hunting with my dad for years. At Prairie Wings we have hosted some amazing guests. Hosting Zac Brown and Drake White and filming episodes of The Fowl Life makes for great fun, capped off with a great meal with friends and sitting around the fire with guitars and singing along with these great guys.
What got you into hunting?
I hunted with my dad from a very early age, and growing up in Arkansas it was a common hobby in our family and friend groups. Getting into waterfowl was an extension of this and a time we dedicated to do things with our friends and fellowship. The beauty of the timber and watching the ducks work and the dogs do their thing provides for a morning that is hard to beat.
If you have children do you take them duck hunting?
If so what are some of the highlights from these youth hunts?
One daughter (Sydnie) and a new son-in-law (Sean Landers) and I look forward to showing that Texan what Arkansas duck hunting is all about.

Diet Mountain Dew and Jack Links Jerky.
