RE: exotic waterfowl
I don't know what you have there in Paragould, but here in the sw corner of the state, you are gonna be hard pressed to find anything other than mallards, gadwall, teal and woodies. I think some of the boys take an occasional pintail, but I have never even seen one down here. My new favorite duck recipe is jerky, but I don't plan on making any coot jerky. Good luck this season!
