I'm in Missouri right now for school, but I live in Russellville, and my buddies go to school in Conway. We usually hunt Ed Gordon, leases off the river around Morrilton and Rsvl, or Spadra. Most of the smaller ducks come down first. Last years opener all we shot were teal. The bulk of the mallards didn't come down til January, but when they did. We tore em a new one.
