Falling Feather Outdoors

Falling Feather Outdoors operates guided duck and specklebelly goose hunts in Delaplaine, Arkansas—right in the heart of NE Arkansas's waterfowl country. Millions of acres of rice, soybeans, and corn surround the operation, bringing hundreds of thousands of mallards, pintails, gadwall, teal, snow geese, and specs through the region each winter.

• •Flooded Timber Hunts - Their primary setup, designed to put you on birds in this region's classic terrain
• •Open Water Access - When hard freezes lock down the rest of the county, FFO's farms border the refuge and maintain open water
• •Private Lodging - Each group gets their own lodge equipped with washers, dryers, BBQ grills, and the essentials
• •Full Scouting Program - Guides spend afternoons scouting to dial in the next day's setup

Owner TJ Hedge started guiding at 18 and says his gift is "talking ducks and geese into giving up." He runs this operation with his wife Kristen and a crew of guides including Gage Marlin (12 years experience), Matthew Gilgenbach (12 years guiding, multi-state flyway knowledge), Sam Mims (hunted nearly every day since age 14), and Dylan Smith (4 years guiding, also the team's photographer/videographer).

"I do not guide for the money! I guide because I love to meet new people and I love to show off the talents that the Lord has blessed me with."
