Green Timber Duck Hunting

Kirk McCullough started duck hunting at 14 and never stopped. What began as an obsession turned into a guiding operation that ran from 1982-2005 on both public and private Arkansas timber. He's still hunting and teaching—says he'll hunt waterfowl until the day he dies.

McCullough hunts timber holes, not open water. His notable achievements:

• •66 duck limits in one day (22 per party × 3 parties, shot from 6 inches of ice in private timber)
• •Called in approximately 5,000 mallards in one hole near Humnoke, Arkansas on the same day he killed 66 limits
• •Most memorable season: 12 days at Shirey Bay in the early 90s, killed roughly 1,000 mallards total with hunting parties of 25+
• •Top spot to hunt: Center-Hole in Bayou Meto (his #1 choice in Arkansas)

"The most exciting moment for me during the hunt: Pulling the trigger with 200 ducks in the decoys."

• •Custom duck calls - KM Custom Cut Keyhole (his personal choice)
• •Online store with hunting gear and equipment
• •Video content - Instructional and hunting footage
• •Discussion forums for waterfowl hunters
• •Photo galleries documenting seasons and hunts

McCullough's approach is aggressive and legal. He focuses on calling birds in at close range and mass kills within regulations. He pushes back on the assumption that consistent success requires illegal activity—his record proves otherwise.
