Sign in to contribute

Poinsett County is ground zero for Arkansas duck hunting, home to the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge and the flooded bottomlands that make northeast Arkansas famous across the Mississippi Flyway. The county sits squarely in the Delta with flat agricultural land, flooded timber, and oxbow lakes providing diverse waterfowl habitat. White-tailed deer and wild turkey inhabit the wooded corridors between crop fields.

Terrain & elevation

Flat Mississippi Alluvial Valley with Cache River bottomlands, flooded hardwood timber, oxbow lakes, and extensive rice and soybean agriculture

Hunting pressure

Very high for waterfowl, especially early season when migration peaks; moderate for deer in the river-bottom timber

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter license; statewide antler restrictions apply

Species & seasons

Mallards, pintails, and green-winged teal concentrate in the Cache River corridor; the NWR moist-soil units are managed specifically for migrating ducks; turkey numbers are solid in wooded buffer zones

Highlights

Cache River NWR is one of the premier public duck hunting destinations in Arkansas; flooded rice field hunting on private clubs reaches world-class status during peak migration
