Our Hunts

The Stan Jones Mallard Lodge offers exceptional duck and upland bird hunts. Northeast Arkansas has always been the epicenter of the Mississippi Flyway attracting millions of waterfowl to our hunting grounds. It is truly a site to behold. Our upland hunts take you to fields that our Guides specifically design for either traditional or Continental hunts.

Duck

For the waterfowler, duck hunting is one of the most popular hunting sports in the world. It is as much a social calling as it is a hunt. Experience the sunrise as the morning’s first flock of ducks appear on the horizon, waiting and watching as the birds chatter back and forth with our guides, work the decoys and then the sound of their wings as they commit to the spread.

Upland Game Bird Hunts

Build memories to last a life time while you take part in a mid-morning or afternoon upland hunt. Whether you are chasing a ring neck pheasant, the king of game birds, or a beautiful fast flying chukar, our expert upland guides and their highly trained bird dogs will leave you feeling exhilarated and wanting more. This is not your average upland hunt; ours are fast paced with plenty of shooting, a bit of heckling and a LOT of action packed fun.

Smiling Mallard's Prayer

For our families, children, and grandchildren; for those of us who have died; for the beloved women in our lives who, with love, tolerance, and sound advice, have sustained and forgiven us for so many years; for these men, the Smiling Mallards, whose love for each other, nurtured by an abiding and uncommon devotion to the outdoors, could have only survived these many years with a generous dollop of Your grace and good humor; for the wonder and the magic of Your natural world, where we share with You the anticipation and the laughter that each new gift brings—the beating of wings even before they can be seen, the infallible coming and going of day and night, the stillness of the woods, the quack of the mallard, the whistle of the pintail, the gobble of the tom, the explosion of the covey rise, ice on the pond, the warmth of a good fire, and dogs. If we have a hard time seeing such blessings as the gifts that they are, let us remember that they are holy. "For all Thy blessings, known and unknown, remembered and forgotten, we give Thee thanks," goes the old prayer, because it is the presence of those blessings that makes life for each of us a sacred journey.
