Sept. 13, 2023
LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas duck hunters will get their first shot at some early birds this Friday when the early teal season opens at sunrise.
The early teal season is open Sept. 15-30, so hunters can have an opportunity to harvest some of these small ducks that typically migrate before the rest of the crowd.

Most of the mid-to-south Arkansas Delta and its bottomland hardwoods are fully flooded after this past Monday's torrential rain that put 8-12 inches on parts of the landscape. Mallard numbers are expected to be up in the AGFC's January Midwinter aerial survey underway this week. Photo by Mike Wintroath.
