Duck Season There’s millions’ of people that hunt worldwide and there’s thousands of different things you can kill. I have been hunting seen I was four years old and have hunted many different animals. In the state of Arkansas we have over 20 different WMA’s (wildlife management area), in which most are for ducks. Duck season is the best season because of family time, the environment, and the hunt itself. First, Duck hunting has a lot to do with your family. One of the joys of duck hunting is that you’re able to take big groups and have all your family out there doing it with you. Unlike deer hunting when you’re most the time by yourself. All of the WMA’s are public so you’re not the only ones out there so you get to meet a …show more content…
The duck hunting environment that I do is in Stuttgart, AR. In Stuttgart you have the largest waterfowl superstore Mack’s Prairie Wings. Mack’s has everything you can think of in the duck hunting industry from calls, waders, decoys, clothes, and more. Also in Stuttgart is Cajun Bistro, it’s a Cajun restaurant that everybody goes to to eat supper. At times there will be over a two hour wait to get seated. Stuttgart is known for R-N-T calls. R-N-T calls started as a small shop in Stuttgart that is now the biggest name in the Call world. Where the calls are made is still in Stuttgart and if anything is wrong with it you can walk in and they will fix it free of charge. Before duck season starts Mack’s has a big sale called the Tent sale where almost everything is on sale in the store it’s like a duck hunters black Friday. The Second weekend of season Stuttgart puts on the duck calling world championship. Where people from all around the world have to qualify for it. Also they have a duck gumbo cook off to go along with the festival. At the duck calling contest there probably a hundred different vendors selling calls that they
A look back at the year 2015 JANUARY — Duck season ended on a positive note after a lackluster early season. January proved good and my highlight was shooting with my son Bill at the Santa Cruz Club where limits were the rule. Dan Perkins Jr., caught and released a 12-pound two ounce Bass at Melones.
One early saturday morning my dad (Shawn), my cousin (trey), and I woke up at 2:30 a.m. to go duck hunting. When we get out there we are one of the first people there and 4:00 comes along and we sent out to our spot. When we come to a spot that boats can't go we have to walk for about 15 minutes. As we are putting out the last of are decoys we here so more people throwing out decoys and they are pretty close. Well, we start talking to them and they are pretty nice and they ask if they can hunt with us and we said yes. Then, daylight comes and a group of ducks come in and we shot but I was the only one that killed one that we could find and it´s a drake which is a male mallard. Then, my dad shoots and we could not find his ducks.

When it comes to duck hunting there are tools to help you succeed out in the field, a duck call can be one of those tools. It can be difficult to choose the right one that fits you best. Price range, what kind of birds you’re targeting, also where you’re hunting.
As all migrating organisms, wood ducks fly south for the winter and north for the summer.
While the duck hunting today has grown significantly in the past years, hunters today now face
Pleasure hunters are into hunting because of the enjoyment they get from it. These types of hunters typically hit the woods for the
The first difference between gun hunting and bowhunting are the hunting seasons themselves. The gun hunting season in Michigan goes from November 15 to November 30. This only allows gun hunters a short two week time period to go hunting. Because of how popular gun hunting is and how short the season is hunters flock to the woods during this two week period. Many people enjoy hunting for the piece and quiet they get to enjoy away from the noises and hustle and bustle of everyday life. Gun hunters do not get to enjoy this peace and quiet however. With orange clad hunters roaming through the woods and the boom of gun shots ringing out across the landscape the woods are anything but peaceful. Oftentimes gun
Deer hunting is always a great time especially when you get a deer. I was feeling lucky when my sister and I went out hunting on a saturday evening. The weather was typical fall weather. The air was crisp and clean, the sky was blue and the birds were chirping. I was getting a little hot in my hunting clothes though when we walked out to the stand which was a bad start to the hunt.
I enjoy all of the different seasons of hunting such as Spring turkey, Fall turkey, pheasant, and deer seasons. I also have a goal to save money up for the decoys and blinds for goose season in the future years. I like the weather of all the season especially the ones in fall because it is nice cool weather. I also like sitting in nature and listening to all of the surrounding animals making their noises. Hunting season is also a good time to relax, especially after harvest season, and think about a lot of things.
Do you enjoy the outdoors and adventure? Most hunters consider bird hunting, or dove hunting in particular, as the most exciting type of hunting. Dove hunting, usually a very social gathering, unites friends, family, and strangers to kill doves and have a good time. However, newcomers to the sport might have questions and wonder what exactly goes on, and why everyone loves it.
Although you may spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on all the gear and clothing and what not you use to hunt with, hunting can be a great way to put food on the table on a very tight budget. It is cheaper to buy a tag and hunting license for the animal you are going to be hunting than it is to go to the store and buy the meat and you don't get near as much from the store with your money as you would if you were to go hunting and get the animal yourself. One deer or elk or whatever big game animal you go after could feed your family for several months, maybe even a year as to where if you were to buy food from the store it might only last you and your family a couple weeks. So hunting is a cheap and easy way to feed your family if you are on a very tight
Many people have misconceptions about hunting. One such misconception is that hunting is easy and any person can go sit in the woods and wait for an animal to cross the hunter’s path. However, people who believe this are sorely mistaken. Hunting is not just sitting in the woods with a rifle; there are many other aspects that must be considered. An individual must have all preparations complete, purchase or gather the equipment needed, and know what to listen for while in the woods.
Many people have misconstrued ideas about what it means to be a hunter. Some have this idea in their heads that hunters are just out to kill and have no respect for the environment the animals live in or the animals themselves. When in reality hunters care more about the environment than most people because of the very fact that they care about the animals they hunt. Hunting is one of the best way to bring a family together like no other activity. The misconception that hunting is a just an individualized activity couldn’t be more wrong. When hunting with your family, you experience an adventure with your loved ones that brings you all closer together like no other way. The truths of what it means to be a hunter are hunters care about the animals they hunt and the environment they hunt in more than the average person. Hunting is a great way to bring the family together unlike any other activity. Also, hunting brings people closer to nature in way unlike any other. And it’s this connection with nature that keeps hunters humbled by the environment they are in and the animals that live in it.
