About Our Green-Winged Teal Hunts in Arkansas

Most important info about these hunts—landscapes, strategies, costs, and comforts.

Summary & Terrain

Arkansas sits squarely in the heart of the Mississippi Flyway, making it one of the nation’s premier destinations for green-winged teal hunting. These pint-sized ducks migrate through the state in large numbers each fall, seeking hospitable shallow wetlands, flooded timber tracts, rice fields and managed waterfowl impoundments. Guided hunts typically take place on private lakes and river backwaters or on leased agricultural lands adapted each season for optimal teal habitat. Hunters can expect to set up on wooden blinds, boats or flooded grain fields where teal concentrate in the early morning feed-and-rest cycle.

Difficulty & Strategy

While teal hunts are generally accessible to most skill levels, they offer fast-paced action that rewards solid shooting and quick gun mount. Teal fly in tight groups and often pass at shooting height, requiring shooters to be ready on fast-moving targets. Strategies focus on an effective decoy spread—using smaller teal-style decoys intermingled with a few mallards for visibility—and well-timed calling to hold birds in the spread. Guides handle field dressing and bird retrieval, allowing hunters to concentrate on calling, shooting and reading weather-driven shifts in flight patterns.

Amenities

Green-winged teal hunts in Arkansas are typically based out of comfortable field lodges located near prime marshes and flooded timber. Most packages include overnight stays in private or shared rooms furnished with standard beds and modern heating and air-conditioning systems to keep guests comfortable during cool mornings and warm afternoons. Lodges offer common areas for gear prep and briefings, ensuring a relaxed environment between hunts. For hunters who prefer single-day outings, day-hunt options provide fully guided field time without overnight lodging or climate-controlled rooms. Whether selecting a multi-day lodge package or a standalone day hunt, amenities are designed to suit both first-time waterfowlers and experienced hunters.

Season & Additional Info

Arkansas’ early teal season typically opens in mid-September and runs through October, with a daily bag limit of six green-winged teal. Most guided outings are half-day morning hunts, wrapping up by mid-morning to coincide with peak teal movement. Premium packages include onsite lodging in comfortable cabins or lodges, gourmet meals, transportation to and from blinds, decoy setups and full processing of harvested birds. Hunters should carry a valid state waterfowl permit and federal duck stamp, and many operators welcome well-trained retriever dogs to expedite recovery in flooded cover.

Pricing

Green-winged teal hunts in Arkansas typically run around $1,100 per person. Single-day, fully guided hunts without lodging are generally the most budget-friendly options, while multi-day packages that include field-lodge accommodations, meals, and all guide services average in the mid-$1,000 range. Factors affecting cost include the number of hunting days, private versus shared lodging, inclusion of meals and beverages, and the guide-to-hunter ratio. Higher-end packages may feature upgraded rooms, smaller group sizes, and extended stay options, which can push the price above the average. All hunts include professional guide services, decoy setups, and field support tailored to both new and experienced waterfowlers.
