I'll be the first to tell you outright that there is some great public land duck hunting in Arkansas, and that if you don't know your way around in advance you might as well stay at home.... Bayou Meto is a big place, and if you've never been in flooded timber in the dark..... it all looks the same. The hot public spots are very very carefully guarded secrets. I have hunted there... and hired a guide and had a wonderful time. It was $125 plus a tip.... but its worth every penny. We joined a club down there with 7 timber and 7 pit blinds a few years ago.. I can only dream of finding a club at such a steal of a price here in VA... sadly it was a one time deal
