Youth Waterfowl Hunters Have Saturday to Themselves

For the first time in several waterfowl hunting seasons, the first Special Youth Hunt day in Arkansas will be one in which the youths get all the hunting to themselves. Saturday, Dec. 2, is the first of two Special Youth Hunts for the 2023-24 season for youths under 16. The second one, set for Feb. 3 after the close of this 60-day regular waterfowl, will be paired with the annual Veterans and Active Duty Military special hunt day.

The regular duck hunting season remains closed to the rest of the hunting public until Saturday, Dec. 9, one of two splits in Arkansas’s 60-day season. Outside of the youth hunt, waterfowl will be enjoying a respite of 12 days from hunters’ pursuit.

Youths 15 and under were allowed to apply for a Waterfowl Rice Incentive Conservation Enhancement program hunting permit last week to hunt one of about 50 fields available throughout the Delta and west-central regions of the state, as well as the regular youth blinds that are made available by permit for hunting in Steve N. Wilson Raft Creek Bottoms WMA and Sheffield Nelson Dagmar WMA. Without those permits, youths will still have plenty of public land options at all of the AGFC’s WMAs managed for waterfowl (see the habitat conditions and water levels below), including the rest of Raft Creek Bottoms beyond the one permitted youth blind.

The hunting is open from 30 minutes before sunrise Saturday to sunset, and that includes WMAs that typically require hunters off the water by midday. Hunting is open to ducks, geese, mergansers and coots statewide and all applicable daily bag limits apply.
Youths who have not completed the Hunter Education course may take along a mentor 21 and over who may call and help retrieve the ducks but cannot hunt.

While youths have all the hunting to themselves, they may be facing what all hunters have witnessed since opening day: very dry conditions. Several reporting stations around the state indicating water levels were dropping. However, some of the WMAs have improved conditions over the initial nine days of hunting, with what nearby water is available being pumped or diverted into the hunting areas.

More information is available from the state’s regions below.

More Time Off; Plan Ahead on Permits
Hunters planning ahead for next week’s reopening of the season should make sure to apply THIS WEEK for the available WMA permits (including youths seeking youth blinds) at Raft Creek Bottoms WMA, Sheffield Nelson Dagmar WMA and Cypress Bayou’s Red Cut Slough, as well as the dozens of WRICE permits available for full weekend all-day hunting on private land, between Thursday evening and Sunday at midnight.

All applications are $5. Hunters may only apply for one WRICE field per week. Visit the AGFC’s special permit page, which includes more information and a link for WRICE field permit applications and other permit areas, for more information or to apply.

Aerial Survey Next Week
We’ll get a better look at how many ducks have made their way into Arkansas when the AGFC waterfowl biologists take to the skies starting Monday, Dec. 4, for the annual December Waterfowl Survey around The Natural State. Once the flights are completed through the Delta, the Arkansas River Valley and southwestern Arkansas, the information will be compiled, studied and summed up by Brett Leach, the AGFC’s waterfowl program coordinator and released the following week.

For anecdotal reports, and from our own eyes, it appears more mallards were moving into east and southeast Arkansas last weekend. We witnessed groups of mallards (upwards of 14-15 ducks per group) checking out decoy spreads on oxbows and bayous that had water, though where we were specifically hunting, the mallards were skittish to get too close to the decoys despite a nice northeasterly breeze.

Other anecdotal reports from the Cache River area indicated good duck harvests in that area. But overall, the spotty reports continued, and many waterfowlers still lacked enough water.

George H. Dunklin Jr. Bayou Meto WMA
Map | Water Gauge | Weather Report

The UGSG is reporting real-time water gauge readings at the headwater at each GTR within the George H. Dunklin Bayou Meto WMA. Click the Water Gauge link above for the WMA, and search for the particular GTR as noted. 

NOTE: During the 2023-24 wintering period, all intentional flooding will be held at 178.5 feet msl, an elevation that will relieve stress on many trees such as red oaks that are showing signs of distress. Rain and increased flow into the WMA will allow water to rise above that level periodically. A good rule of thumb for comparing water levels to access into Bayou Meto: 176 feet msl – water breaking into sloughs and lower ditches; 177-177.5 feet msl – water beginning to break out of sloughs and lower ditches; 178 feet msl – water in most sloughs and ditches and entering into lower elevations in woods; 178.5 feet msl – most ditches and sloughs deep enough to boat and most boat ramps become serviceable; 179 feet msl or above – water expands to the higher elevations.
