My Favorite Thing about Cypress Run: The friends and hunting companions I have there. We have a group that enjoys hunting and being together whether we’re knocking down ducks or just enjoying a beautiful sunrise or breakfast together. Out of our group, I’ve hunted this area the longest and I can honestly say there is no place better to hunt ducks in the state of Arkansas or the United States.

Why I Love Duck Hunting: The companionship and friendships that I’ve made over the years. I’ve gone on hunts with friends knowing that I would kill as many ducks that I woul dhav at my own place, but I enjoy the experience of being with my friends during that time.

My First Duck Hunt: My first hunt was in St. Francis County somewhere around Palestin, AR, with a very old local friend from Forrest City in 1980 hunting geese. Later that year, we hunted ducks just outside Wheatley on Pop Powell’s farm.

My Favorite Duck Hunting Memory: With my son, Scott, on Thanksgiving Day with Mallory Nimocks and his sone about 1993-4. We were hunting in green timber and walking in in our waders. We started killing ducks the second we hit the water in our waters. By the time we’d made it to the hole, we already had our limit. I remember Scott saying “Dad, this isn’t fair! These ducks don’t have a chance.”

My Favorite Meal During Duck Season: Will Huffman’s Jalapeno-and-Cream Cheese Stuffed Duck Breasts Wrapped in Bacon
