If any one is headed to AR, I just got a call from my sister in Jonesboro. She said that they had tens of thousands of ducks and geese this morning in the fields all around Jonesboro. Good luck to any one headed that way.

It's not good. Talked to some guys that went this morning and they killed 3 between 6 people. Saw very few in the air.

Hunted Newport Saturday and Sunday. Between 3 of us we only killed 7 ducks for both days. Not to good right now. Deer hunting was good in the afternoon as we killed 2 bucks! They are in the rut.

Trip, the only real good reports I have gotten were from right where y'all hunted. Seems to be a cluster of green there, but not in many other of the usual spots. Now geese that is another story, I had one of the coolest experiences in the world (and some great blind company to share it with, thanks!) in the words of the Waterfowler "that was worth the price of admission!"

I hunted right outside of Grubbs today. Lots of teal with a few gadwall and widgeon mixed in. Plenty of shovelers as well if that's your cup of tea. Hardly any mallards.
