Waterfowl Hunting Information

 
Arkansas is known as "The duck hunting capital of the world." More than 70,000 duck stamps are sold in Arkansas every year, and more mallards are harvested in the state than in the rest of the Mississippi flyway.

Because of its incredible waterfowling opportunities, The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission receives hundreds of questions each year relating to waterfowl conservation and waterfowl hunting.

This portion of the Web site is designed to answer those questions as well as provide valuable information to hunters.
