Regions Ranked by Score
Ozarks and Ouachitas
Moderate confidenceMountain country. Beaver, Bull Shoals and Ouachita hold some divers and a few mallards on the upper White, but this is not duck ground.
- •Temperatures falling about 15°F over the next 48 hours
- •Rice harvest roughly 100% complete, heavy field feed available
Northeast Delta
Low confidenceBig Lake, the St. Francis basin and the rice ground around Jonesboro. First Arkansas dirt a bird crosses coming down the flyway.
- •Temperatures falling about 13°F over the next 48 hours
- •Rice harvest roughly 100% complete, heavy field feed available
Grand Prairie
Moderate confidenceStuttgart and the rice country around it. Flooded rice and reservoirs feed enormous numbers of mallards once the fields go under.
- •Temperatures falling about 14°F over the next 48 hours
- •Rice harvest roughly 100% complete, heavy field feed available
Cache and White River Bottoms

- •Temperatures falling about 13°F over the next 48 hours
- •Rice harvest roughly 100% complete, heavy field feed available
Arkansas River Valley
Moderate confidenceDardanelle and the Holla Bend country. A narrower corridor than the delta, but the river pool holds ducks when small water locks up.
- •Temperatures falling about 14°F over the next 48 hours
- •Rice harvest roughly 100% complete, heavy field feed available

- •Temperatures falling about 13°F over the next 48 hours
- •Rice harvest roughly 100% complete, heavy field feed available
Mississippi Delta
Low confidenceHelena up through Crowley's Ridge and the river itself. Big-river birds trading between sandbars, oxbows and cut grain.
- •Temperatures falling about 12°F over the next 48 hours
- •Rice harvest roughly 100% complete, heavy field feed available
Central Arkansas
Moderate confidenceLittle Rock out to the lakes west of it. Mostly a drive-through on the way to the Grand Prairie, with scattered small-water hunts.
- •Temperatures falling about 14°F over the next 48 hours
- •Rice harvest roughly 100% complete, heavy field feed available
South Arkansas

- •Temperatures falling about 13°F over the next 48 hours
- •Rice harvest roughly 100% complete, heavy field feed available
